About this gig

Is your board game concept amazing, but your rulebook confusing or messy?


A poorly structured rulebook can ruin a great tabletop game and cause negative playtest reviews.

I provide professional, human-centric rulebook layout design and structural rule editing. I reject automated templates to ensure your rulebook has an intuitive visual hierarchy, clear terminology, and an elegant presentation that matches your games unique theme.


Services Offered in This Gig:


  • Technical Rule Editing: Streamlining complex mechanics into clear, easy-to-learn text instructions.
  • Custom Rulebook Layout Design: Arranging text, component diagrams, and game setups beautifully.
  • Visual Hierarchy Setup: Using clean typography so players can quickly reference rules mid-game.
  • Component Quick-Reference Guides: Crafting intuitive "How to Play" summaries.
  • Print Ready Design Files: Delivery in exact high-res CMYK layouts for your manufacturer.


Let's make your game easy to learn and beautiful to read. Message me today!
