D.L. Grace
Author website
Dominic needed a space that could give D.L. Grace a proper home online, present his work clearly and build authority around him as an author.
The site had to do more than introduce the books. It needed to support sales across Apple Books, Amazon Kindle and physical copies sold directly through the website, while giving readers a clear sense of Dominic’s background, credibility and wider body of work.
Having known each other for a long time, there was already a useful shorthand in the way we talked about the project. That helped shape the tone, content and structure so the site felt informed without overloading the reader.
The result is a focused author and commerce platform for D.L. Grace, built around book discovery, clear purchase routes and a professional online presence that can grow with future written works.
I came to Ryan at Studio Aitch with a brief for two book covers and an author website. I left with a series identity. The second cover became the defining driver for the whole brand. It gives the series an atmosphere and a visual language that ties the series together.
What sets Ryan apart is the combination of listening and pushing. He takes the brief seriously, then suggests directions I had not considered and would not have arrived at alone. Every round of iteration moved the work forward and upward. Professional, friendly, quick to respond, willing to challenge the norm and push boundaries when it serves the brief.
If you want a designer that goes further, Ryan at Studio Aitch is the only choice. I will now only use studio aitch and Ryan for future projects, a brand I can trust.
