About Christine
I'm a professional book and publication designer with more than 18 years of experience in editorial design, typesetting, and print and digital production.
My background includes approximately 10 years designing educational and children's nonfiction books for Enslow Publishers and Rosen Publishing Group. I specialize in book interiors, cover design, typography, long-form layouts, and creating polished, publication-ready files.
I work primarily in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop, with experience preparing files for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and EPUB distribution.
I bring a detail-oriented, organized approach to every project, focusing on consistency, readability, and professional production standards. I work with authors and publishers to transform manuscripts into beautifully designed books ready for publication.
