Senior Cover Designer, Freelance
Melbourne VIC
Debra has been designing books since Roxette had ‘The Look’. She spent her early career as a studio manager, creating products for children, until landing her dream job at Penguin Books. This saw her working with some of Australia’s highest profile authors for almost a decade, until starting her own business from her Melbourne home-studio in 2007. Whilst having designed across all book genres, Debra’s true love is creating fiction covers (especially YA), and nurturing a small, loyal client-base.
