Design work by Mariana Alegra
Guided by an elemental touch, I approach book design like I would a living object that deserves its own identity, voice and presence. From cover to spine to interior, I help your book embody the essence of its story and character — so that a reader knows what kind of world they're entering before they've read a single word.

Your cover is often the first thing a potential reader sees. Effective book cover design communicates genre, tone and quality in an instant, helping readers decide whether to learn more.
