Marta Dec -
a book designer and illustrator.
I learned to read when I was five years old; I learned to draw in order to visualise characters from my favourite books. Now I work as a book designer and help other people – like you! – tell their stories.
I’ve been working as a designer since 2013, and in that time I developed a wide range of skills and gathered a lot of knowledge about publishing. I work across a variety of genres, both fiction and non-fiction, and with indie authors and big publishers alike.
I collaborated, among others, with SAGA Egmont and Beans&Sparks Publishing. On a regular basis, I work with Boldbooks.no, Alven Books and PublishMedia.
