The cover of Navigating the Waves is thoughtfully designed to reflect the emotional, physical, and transformative journey of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood. The imagery symbolizes the waves of challenges, uncertainties, and triumphs that mothers experience as they prepare to welcome a new life into the world.
The design conveys strength, resilience, hope, and maternal love, capturing both the struggles and the beauty of the childbirth experience. Soft yet empowering visual elements create a sense of comfort and encouragement, reassuring readers that they are not alone in their journey.
The typography is elegant and approachable, while the overall composition evokes feelings of support, courage, and perseverance. This cover is intended to resonate with expectant mothers, new parents, and anyone seeking guidance through the realities of pregnancy and childbirth.
The cover effectively communicates the book's central message: embracing the challenges of childbirth with confidence, grace, and the knowledge that every wave faced is part of a remarkable journey toward new beginnings.

When Love Outlives Goodbye | Book Launch Flyer Design
A warm, high-contrast launch flyer that turns a grief-support book into a scroll-stopping social media promo.
I designed the official book launch flyer for When Love Outlives Goodbye: Finding Peace in God’s Presence During Life’s Hardest Goodbyes by Justin Thomley.
The book deals with grief, faith, and healing. The flyer had to feel hopeful and comforting, not heavy, while still standing out in a crowded social media feed and driving readers to buy.
1_ Color palette: Deep black with glowing gold and cream tones. This mirrors the sunset on the book cover, symbolizes hope after loss, and makes the headline pop.
2_ Typography: A bold, oversized “BOOK LAUNCH” headline paired with an elegant handwritten “Official” script, balancing impact with a personal touch.
3_ Hierarchy: The tagline “The goodbye was real. The love remains. Hope is still possible.” sits right under the headline for an instant emotional hook.
4_ Content block: A framed “What You’ll Discover” section highlights the book’s three key themes so readers understand its value at a glance.
5_ Book mockup: A 3D mockup of the cover, placed on the right to balance the text and give the book a premium feel.
Clear call to action: An “Now Available on Amazon” badge, a Kindle and Paperback note, and a scannable QR code lead straight to the purchase page.
A cohesive, emotionally resonant promo design ready for Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp Status, and LinkedIn, giving the author a professional launch presence.

A simple journal designed to turn everyday moments into meaningful reflections.
For this Gratitude Journal, I focused on creating a warm, calming, and inviting visual experience. The autumn-inspired palette, clean composition, botanical elements, and handwritten typography work together to create a peaceful atmosphere that encourages reflection and intentional journaling.
What I focused on:
📖 Journal cover design
🎨 Color palette & visual direction
✍️ Typography selection
🍁 Botanical/seasonal elements
📐 Clean and balanced composition
📝 Print-ready journal presentation
The goal was to create something that feels personal, peaceful, and easy to engage with a journal readers would actually want to pick up and use.
