I recently worked on the book design for Navigating the Waves: Embracing Homebirth With Confidence, creating a visual identity that reflects the book’s themes of birth, confidence, ancestral wisdom, and empowerment.
The design combines a soft, calming color palette with a pregnancy-inspired visual element to create a warm and welcoming feel while keeping the overall presentation professional and readable.
For the full cover, I focused on maintaining consistency across the front cover, spine, and back cover, while making sure the author information, book description, and biography were clearly structured.
What I focused on:
📖 Full-wrap book cover design
🎨 Cohesive color and typography selection
✍️ Professional text hierarchy and layout
📐 Print-ready KDP formatting
👩🏾🍼 Visual direction aligned with the book's subject
📚 Front cover, spine, and back cover consistency
The goal was to create a cover that feels personal, empowering, and connected to the subject matter, while still looking polished and professional for publication.
Have a manuscript that needs professional book design, formatting, or a publication-ready cover? I can help bring it together from manuscript to final KDP-ready files.
I wanted to put Canva Craft to test with an idea I've been sitting with lately: the Observer Effect.
It's a concept that got me thinking about the relationship between observation and reality, and how our understanding of what we see can get a little philosophical (and existential) very quickly:)
I gave Craft two different directions to interpret the same idea.
A: The Cosmic Observer takes a human perspective against the scale of the universe.
B: The Universe Looking Back turns the gaze itself into the subject, blurring the line between the observer and the observed.
I wanted to see how Craft would translate something this abstract into a poster and how differently it would approach the brief.
