“Alicia is an incisive listener, a highly sensitive thinker about the wider themes and levels, one with a very strong grasp of symbolism, juxtaposition, motif, unity, colour and line, and one who methodically sets out the steps of realising the process for the client. There is great thought and depth in her approach.”

Nicholas Frost, Author

 “Alicia has been such a dream to work with. The whole process has been seamless and made me feel really happy to pay for her service because I know that at the end I’m getting something that looks really good and feels really good for both of us. I value her creative mind and her willingness to have flexibility and flow around a project. I’ve really enjoyed the whole process of working with Alicia, I know that we’ll be doing a lot more work together in the future.”

Prue Rustean, Earth Altering

“Alicia is kind, considerate, caring, attentive, efficient, timely, professional, honest, clear thinking, creative, exciting, imaginative, dreamy, enchanting, wise, on point, trusting and trustworthy, loving, and I feel like I’m working with a kindred spirit.”

Suzie Palmer, Author

Alicia has done an amazing job with my first novel and I will engage her again for the internal design of my second novel.

Despite cliched assurances to the contrary, a book is judged by its cover, its interior layout and its readability. A good book designer is imperative to the success of a novel and Alicia from Struck by Violet is among the best in the business.”

Hi!
I’m Alicia (Ah-lis-ee-a) St John Grady aka
Struck by Violet.

Here at Struck by Violet, I design eye-catching custom books for self-publishing authors. I journey deep to the essence of the work and delight in expressing that visually in a powerful, captivating cover image/layout. Drawing readers in and making your heart sing with confidence.

I have a Bachelor of Design and 14+ years experience working as a professional designer in studios, agencies, an independent publishing house and for my own clients.

I acknowledge the Jinibara people as the traditional custodians of this land that I live, work and dance on. I acknowledge their continuing connection to land, water and spirit. I pay my respects to the Elders both past and present. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
