Hi! Im Tamian Wood of Beyond Design Books, an award-winning, full-time freelance graphic designer specializing in book cover and book interior design and layout or formatting, with over 30 years experience.
I've been creating art that sells since 1995. I've designed hundreds of projects in collaboration with publishers and indie authors just like you. I specialize in book design such as novels, non-fiction books, children's books, memoirs, poetry books, art books, coffee table books, and everything in between. I design e-book covers, paperback covers, book jackets, and print book interiors, but my services also include package and label design, trade show backdrops, banners and pop ups, exhibit displays, billboards, sign design, ad design, brochures and direct mail postcards.
Be sure to peek at the Photos section here on my profile to see samples of my work. Or, you can visit my website at BeyondDesignBooks.com
As a freelance designer, I work personally and directly with you to achieve the result you're looking for. My priority is that you get exactly what you want for your finished product, while still maintaining industry standards and genre tropes.
The following statements are direct quotes from happy clients:
Paulist Press As a manager for over 20 years, I value professional and technical knowledge, creativity, and dedication. But, I believe the factors that will always win the day are bringing your heart to what you do with a good dose of clear thinking and common sense. I don't think you can train someone to be, or think, that way, and that is what you get with Tamian a stellar package. Kimberly Bernard Production Director Paulist Press ______________________________________ Zumaya Publications To date, Ms. Wood has designed a number of covers for Zumaya, all of which have received enthusiastic compliments from readers. Her work is always of the highest quality, and her promptness is astonishing Elizabeth Burton Publisher Zumaya Publications Author The Everdark Gate ______________________________________

Adam Gainsburg I chose Tamian to handle the cover design and layout of my latest book and, a few years later, I am honestly still getting feedback from both readers of it and other authors in my sector how well thought-out and executed both were.Tamian brought not only a very experienced design ethic to my project but a clarity and professionalism that, quite frankly, I require from anyone I hire but rarely find in those I do. Without those factors, my project would have gotten very expensive very quickly.Cannot recommend her highly enough. Adam Gainsburg Soul Sign Astrology Author The Light of Venus ______________________________________ Wilford Kale A half a dozen people have seen this book so far, and to a person, the first comment they have is "Who designed it?" and 'What a wonderful touch!" They say that it looks gorgeous and that it's easily the best designed book I've ever had. Congrats and well done! ~ Wilford Kale, Author From Student to Warrior ______________________________________ Stephen Rupp My company creates retail consumer products. In my search for a professional designer, I came across Tamian's website. I was so impressed with her creativity that I contacted her immediately to design my first retail product box. She wowed me from day one with creativity, professionalism, and quality of herwork. Tamian continues to produce amazing designs for my products. I wouldn't use anyone else. Stephen Rupp Entrepreneur
