Hello! I am William, a graphic designer and art director specializing in lifestyle publishing.

For more than 20 years, I've helped authors bring their ideas to life through thoughtful book design, art direction, and visual storytelling, creating hundreds of titles that have found readers around the world.

What I do
(and do well)

Dark blue book cover titled “Enneagram Empowerment: Discover Your Personality Type and Unlock Your Potential” written by Laura Miltenberger, designed by William Thomas.

Design bespoke covers and interiors that elevate author’s brands—ensuring their expertise shines on every shelf.

Two examples of book designs with different topics from cookbooks to technical books.

Craft layouts that delight readers with thoughtful imagery, typography, and sweat every little detail.

An example of a photo William Thomas art directed. Overhead view of a Dutch oven filled with assorted vegetables, fresh herbs, garlic, and spices on a wooden cutting board.

Art-direct and collaborate on storytelling photography; from yoga sequences to richly-styled food spreads that make every recipe a hero.
