Hey there! I’m Catherine and I'm so grateful you've visited my website. I realise it’s always nice to know a bit about who you may be working with on your project so here’s a little bit about myself…

After graduating with my Illustration degree from Falmouth College of Arts in Cornwall in 2004, I began my career as a graphic designer for a local printing company, designing posters, leaflets, business cards and suchlike. I went on to work for Redan Publishing, designing top children's magazine's such as 'Friends', 'Peppa Pig', and 'Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom'.
​
I married my wonderfully talented husband (you can see his great work here; www.guyclarkephotography.com) and having two wonderful children, my design career took a secondary role for a while as I worked as a teaching assistant, which was perfect for fitting in with family life. However, I was still working in the evenings to keep my hand in with design work, becoming the designer of The Hounslow Herald, The Chiswick Herald, Viestra Magazine and The Chiswick Magazine.
​
During this time, I also met Katharine E. Smith - an independent author, founder of Heddon Publishing, and mother of two of my children's friends! Having seen my design and illustration work, she asked if I would be interested in working on book cover designs, beginning with redesigning the cover of her first book, Writing the Town Read. Of course I said yes and haven't looked back. Since that first book design I've designed all of Katharine's book covers, and many more, for a wide range of authors from across the globe, in a huge range of genres.

I love working with different people and different ideas. As a self-employed individual, who has worked with many indie authors over the years, I understand the challenges and the importance of getting the right cover, at the right price along with all the extra bits required to help market their book such as media kits and social media posts.
