My name is HR Hegnauer, and I'm a designer in Denver, Colorado. I've worked with independent, university, and corporate publishers over the past several years, and aim to be doing this for many more to come. Check out my resume page to see which specific publishers I've worked with and the kinds of projects we've created. And feel free to send me an email about books you want designed! Beyond books, I've also designed websites, catalogs, brochures, and other special projects.

I began my college education by going to art school for photography and graphic design, and then I continued on for my Bachelor of Arts in English and my Master of Fine Arts in writing & poetics. After entering the New York publishing world, I've moved back to Colorado where I'm continuing my freelance book design and website design work.
