Independent Editorial & Publication Designer
Books and documents designed to outlast the season.
Nafis Didar is an independent book designer, typesetter, and publication specialist based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with over a decade of practice. I collaborate directly with authors, coaches, and organizations worldwide to transform manuscripts and reports into publications of enduring authority.
Design Philosophy
I believe good design is invisible. When a page is set well, the reader stops noticing the layout and simply keeps reading. That philosophy comes from the Swiss grid tradition and over a decade of turning raw manuscripts and complex documents into clear, tactile publications.
Working in Adobe InDesign and Affinity Publisher, I build every layout on a disciplined grid so text stays readable and brands stay consistent across print and screen.
How I work: I ask questions before designing, show you a sample layout before formatting the full manuscript, and deliver production files that pass Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and commercial press checks the first time.
Core Principles
Built for publishing, not just for looking good
Correct trim size, margins, gutter, bleed, and font embedding so your files pass Amazon KDP and IngramSpark checks the first time.
Typography with discipline
Every layout is built on a clear Swiss grid in Adobe InDesign and Affinity Publisher so your content stays readable and consistent.
Sample before full formatting
You approve a sample layout before we format the full manuscript, with fixed pricing and source files included.
