 is an independent designer who has become an expert in guiding (undeveloped) stories and developing strong concepts. I believe that every design can reveal a unique story and should reinforce it to achieve the desired goal. With my work, I aim to exceed expectations. This requires extraordinary stories and courageous clients. Together, we can harvest admiration for the power of narratives.

Mijn lesbische roman / Renee Gladman

Velvet Publishers

Book design 

 Velvet Publishers is the Dutch publisher of les-bi-queer literature. By publishing LBQ stories, Velvet Publishers aims to actively contribute to the positive representation of les-bi-queer individuals with editions of LBQ classics, modern translated literature and the launch of a special new series: the les-bi-queer Pulpature series. Their mission is a wider and happier representation of les-bi-queers' lives in Dutch-language literature.

    ‘Mijn lesbische roman’ (My lesbian novel) by Renee Gladman is written as an interview that spans many years and weaves into and out of memory and fiction, the book chronicles the author’s—or “author’s”—project to explore the genre of lesbian romance as both a reader and a writer. 

For the cover I had many options because I related so well to everything that the book is but in the end we decided that it made the most sense to use a work of Renee herself for the cover, as she is also an artist. The artwork “Untitled 2019“ resembled the book so well that it became the obvious choice.
