Ryan Mulford – Designer

You've come to the right place :) I am a professional book cover designer in Northern California, helping authors realize their vision.

Overview

Hi there! My name is Ryan, and I am a professional designer with over 15 years of experience working for top advertising agencies. I have designed for a wide range of projects, but my true passion is book cover design. As a book lover myself, I understand how important it is for authors to have a cover that accurately reflects their story and appeals to their target audience.


My diverse design background allows me to create unique and effective book covers that stand out. I work closely with authors to understand their vision and ensure that the final design captures the essence of their book. I treat every project with the same care and attention to detail that you would receive from a major publishing house, and I won't stop until you are completely satisfied with the end result.


If you have a book in need of a stunning cover, please don't hesitate to contact me to discuss your project. I would love to help bring your vision to life and create a cover that will entice readers to pick up your book for the first time. It's a fun and collaborative process, and I am dedicated to delivering the best possible results for my clients.

In addition, his work on the interior layout and font matched the cover in expression. As a novice to self-publishing, this was my debut novel, I ...

As a first-time author, I had no idea how the publishing process works. I just focused on writing “My Prosthetic Life, A Memoir”, and decided to worry about each phase as it arose. Other authors suggested having the cover design done professionally. Off to Reedsy I went! I chose Ryan Mulford after requesting and receiving three different quotes for cover and interior design. He was professional...

Ryan is amazing to work with! I highly recommend him and can't say enough good things about his responsiveness, attention to detail, technical skill, artistic skill, and professionalism. He quickly and competently turned what was, for me, a daunting and at times nerve-wracking experience into a smooth, beautifully done final product. I cannot thank him enough!

Ryan made the design process easy and fun. He is interested, collaborative, and friendly. He surprised me by wanting to read my manuscript before designing, and his interpretation factored heavily in the final design. Some graphic artists are order takers. They can do what you ask and nothing more. Ryan is a designer. He brings ideas, and he understands book presentation. If you want someone wh...

Working with Ryan was a phenomenal experience. His skill is evident in how he puts together his designs and the cherry on the sundae is his clear and open communication. I have no doubt that I will reach out to Ryan for future projects as he was able to bring tanhe image I had in my mind's eye into fruition.
