Hi, I’m Sarah Lahay.

Simply put, I’m a book designer. I work primarily with independent publishers, helping them develop custom book covers, interiors, and ebooks. I take pride in the fact that people do judge a book by it's cover, it has a direct influence on sales!

When my nose isn't stuck in a book, I design corporate reports, advertising campaigns, and other marketing materials that help content creators connect with their audience. Whether you need help with a print project or a digital design, you're in the right place. With over ten years of design experience to draw on, my specialty is providing creative solutions that involve the careful balancing of imagination, risk, and practicality.

I enjoy a good cup of coffee, hiking, collecting buttons, and searching out the world’s best libraries and bookstores.
Check out the blog for resources and bookish tidbits from my travels. Or follow me following the big top over on my Instagram.

 

P.S. If you’re looking for Sarah Beaudin, that’s me too! I’m about half-way through the lengthy process of changing my name #JustMarried

 

A NOTE

I believe in building community, giving back, and sharing the joy of books with the world; I dedicate a percentage of my annual income to literary charities. Donations are made annually in the country I have spent the most time in that calendar year. Recent donations have headed to:

China: Bring Me a Book

Australia: The Australian Literacy & Numeracy Foundation's Wall of Hands

Canada: The Canadian Children's Book Centre, First Book

 USA: ProLiteracy
