Design & consulting
We work together co-creating a custom designed, unique and attractive workbook that systematically transfers your know-how into applied knowledge for your readers.
A workbook is more than just a book. The goal of a workbook is to have your readers actually participate and DO THE WORK.
Engage your readers to learn what you are teaching. Through the interactive workbook we design, they will learn and apply what you are teaching. Your knowledge will be presented in a way that will leave a lasting impactful impression.
Together we will create a visually stunning and collaborative workbook that is engaging and effective for learning your valuable lessons.
I accept a small number of clients a year to establish an attentive and personalized service. This allows me to provide the best design and consulting opportunity with each client. If you are interested, please immediately contact me to get on my waitlist for services.
