I collaborate with authors to turn their stories into fully realised, illustration-led children’s books.
Most of my projects are developed over several months, with a strong focus on storytelling, pacing, and visual cohesion.
Not just individual images, but a book that works as a whole.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful, collaborative process (and are happy to plan ahead), you’re in the right place.
Work with me!
This is a good fit if:
-
You care deeply about your story and want the illustrations to elevate it
-
You’re open to creative input and collaboration
-
You understand that a strong book takes time to develop
-
You’re planning to invest in a professional, long-term project
This may not be the right fit if:
-
You're looking for quick turnaround
-
You’re looking for low-budget solutions
-
You want a purely execution-based service
How can we start now:
If you’re not quite ready to commit to a full project or simply want to explore your book more deeply (or you're waiting for me to start illustrating) we can begin with one of the following:
-
A Visual Direction Session
-
A First Spread / Sample Illustration
what can we do together?
01
Full Book Illustration
From character design to the final illustrations, I’ll work closely with you to bring your story to life. My process includes plenty of sketches, feedback, and collaboration to ensure each image aligns with your vision. Typically, it takes 3 to 4 months to complete a book, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully crafted. As I illustrate, I can also offer feedback on the manuscript if something feels redundant (like descriptions that could be shown visually instead).
Keep in mind that I have a limited number of slots each year, they are typically booked 12–18 months in advance, allowing time for proper development and a considered, high-quality result.
In the meantime, we can begin developing your project through a visual direction session or initial illustration phase.

02
Cover illustration and cover design
No matter the project—picture books, early readers, middle-grade novels, or even poetry books for adults—a great cover can make or break a book. It's not just about having a catching and meaningful illustration; the layout and font choices are just as important to create a cohesive, professional look. A well-designed cover sets the tone for your entire book and makes readers want to dive in!
Starting at $1200
03
Book design and formatting
I truly enjoy following the entire process of a book from start to finish—it makes everything flow more smoothly and ensures a polished final product. When I’m involved from the beginning, I can plan a layout that not only complements the illustrations but also ties into the theme and overall tone of your book. Whether it’s balancing text placement or creating a visual flow that guides the reader through each page, I’ll make sure every element works in harmony to bring your story to life.
Starting at $750 | Included in the bundle for full book illustration
04
Coaching and consulting
If you're an author but feel uncertain about certain aspects of your project, or you just want a fresh, expert perspective, I’m here to help! Whether it's advice on illustrations, book design, story flow, or character development (visual aspects), I offer coaching and consulting to give you the guidance you need. I’ll evaluate your project, pinpoint areas for improvement, and provide clear, actionable advice to help elevate your work. Think of it as having an expert eye on your side to boost your confidence and make your book the best it can be. | $120 / 60-minute consultation
05
Supervision Package for Illustrators or Authors/Illustrators
So, you’ve taken on the noble quest of illustrating your own book (bold move, I respect it). If you’re somewhere between “this is exciting” and “why does this character look different on every page?”, this is where I step in.
This is a short, focused supervision package for illustrators already working on a project who want professional-level feedback on storytelling, consistency, and visual direction. I won’t be teaching techniques or doing the work for you, but I will help you see what’s working, what’s not, and how to strengthen your book as a whole. Think of it as having an experienced illustrator in your corner.
| $460 / 3 in person sessions + email feedback
06
Logo design
From the first idea to the final design, we can create a logo that truly reflects your brand's personality. I’ll work closely with you through brainstorming sessions, sketches, and feedback to make sure the final design matches your vision perfectly. A great logo should not only look fantastic but also capture the essence of your brand. The design process typically takes about 3 to 5 weeks, allowing us to refine and polish your logo until it’s just right. | Starting at $300
I've written down a short guide that sums up all the important stuff about working with me (budget included).
