Hi! I’m Rebecca.

A San Diego native and lover of all things creative.

My love for art and design truly began in high school, after a trip to Italy. That one trip propelled me to study art history through college, where I graduated with a BA in Art History (sprinkled with the philosophy classes) and a certificate in Medieval Studies.

After graduating college, I moved back to San Diego and started working at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library where a co-worker encouraged me to study graphic design and I’m so glad I did! I have been doing freelance on and off since then (about 12 years now!) and it wasn’t until 4 years ago that I started to specialize in book cover design when a friend asked me to create a cover for her self-published book.

For a while I didn’t really know how my interest in cover design came up in my life but as I’ve reflected, I’ve realized it’s always been there in the background. I loved reading as a kid, I got REALLY into scrapbooking for a bit (oh the ’90s), studied illuminated manuscripts in college, worked in a library making booklets for art shows and now I’m here creating covers. It took me almost 40 years to find my passion for cover design, but so glad I did!

Now, most of my work is creating book covers for self-published authors and it is so fun and such an honor to bring to life someone’s story.
