Testimonials
Working with Roger was a delightful experience. He designed our organization’s book, “Atlantic City 1868-2018: Voices from a Powerful Place.” Our team provided him with over 1000 images, many of which needed significant work to restore or enhance their appearance. The book includes two dozen writers, which required special design considerations. He worked well with our team, and met our deadlines. In the end, he created a beautiful and award-winning book, beloved by thousands of readers.

Over the years, Roger has created business cards, brochures, flyers, and a recent book cover for me. I have been extremely happy with every one of his awesome creations. Working with him has been so easy, and I highly recommend him for your project!

Roger becomes not only your designer, but a collaborator and creative partner who creates a book cover that grabs readers’ attention. His years as a Hollywood graphic designer provide any author with a deep well of experience and design ideas that only Roger can provide. — Tom Brymer, author
Few writers can honestly say they look forward to calls with their book designer — but I can. Roger is reliable, collaborative, and full of creative ideas, always putting the client first with reminders like, “It’s your book.” His sense of humor eases even the most stressful moments. Most importantly, the final product was exceptional. When the CEO of the Tenement Museum wrote, “We received the book—it is beautiful,” I could only agree.

"Selecting Roger to create the cover for my novel was easy. He is the award winning designer for a nonfiction history of Atlantic City, Wyoming, a stunning body of work which quickly went into its second printing. His creativity and love of history were a perfect fit for my novel. He sent multiple cover ideas for me to review. Several were similar with varying elements — a "theme and variations" — but many were unique, and helped me expand my own thoughts and imagination. Roger was incredibly patient. He made the process smooth with his quick turnaround of revisions and explanations of his thoughts. I am thrilled with the new cover. I highly recommend Roger for his keen artist's eye, balanced by his marketing focus.
