Becky Bayne, Creative Founder and President

Becky Bayne is an award-winning book designer, self-publishing expert, author, and published illustrator. As the founder of Becky’s Graphic Design®, LLC, she has spent more than 30 years helping businesses, organizations, and authors communicate their ideas through professional design.

Her career began in the mid-1980s creating grocery advertisements for weekly newspapers using traditional hand-lettering and layout techniques. As technology evolved, Becky embraced the changes, building a successful design business that today specializes in self-publishing services for nonfiction authors, children’s book creators, and independent publishers.

Through Becky’s Graphic Design, she helps authors navigate the publishing process with professional cover design, interior formatting, eBook production, and self-publishing guidance. Her goal is to help authors create books that meet industry standards and compete successfully in today’s marketplace.

In 2025, Becky published her first book, How to Format a Children’s Book for Self-Publishing, which received multiple industry honors, including a Silver Medal for Interior Design from the Independent Book Publishers Association, First Place in Artistic & Technical Book Design from The BookFest, and Finalist recognition from American Book Fest.

Becky and her husband, Roger (BayneCustomWoodworking), are entrepreneurs and have been married for more than 45 years. They have two children, six grandchildren, and enjoy spending time with family, gardening, and pursuing creative projects. She is passionate about helping authors publish books they can be proud of and share with the world.

Kayla Snyder, Formatting and eBook Specialist, Educator

Kayla has been working with Becky’s Graphic Design since 2018. She graduated from Nossi College of Art with a BGA in Graphic Design in 2020 but has been pursuing creativity since childhood!

Kayla is now an integral part of Becky’s Graphic Design. She is the team’s book formatting and eBook specialist. Inventing new automations and streamlining processes are her favorite challenge.

She is also the voice of the company’s growing YouTube Channel, providing InDesign, formatting, and eBook tutorials to over 10k+ subscribers!

When she’s not creating art, she goes trail riding with her trusty mule or sits outdoors with a novel and one of her pet lizards.
