01Every story begins with a promise.

Book covers

A cover decides in seconds whether someone picks up your book. I design it so character and mood land right away, on the shelf and as a thumbnail.

  • Key visual with character, mood, and series recognition
  • 2–3 fully worked cover variants to choose from
  • print-ready linework incl. spine & flaps

02Behind it, a whole world opens up.

Book illustration & story

I plan your book as a whole: visual pacing, page layout, rhythm. The result is a picture book that feels all of a piece from cover to cover.

  • Visual pacing & page layout as a storyboard
  • full-page scenes, double spreads, and small vignettes
  • consistent characters throughout the entire book

03And someone has to carry it through that world.

Character design

A good character reads from the silhouette alone. I develop characters with clear shapes and minds of their own, plus the sheets your team needs to keep working with them.

  • Character design, turnarounds & expression sheets
  • pose and expression studies for every scene
  • colour and style guide to hand off to the team

04But sometimes a single image says it all.

Editorial

For magazines and online formats I draw images that get a text to the point, matched to your layout and your deadline.

  • Visual concept for the text idea, quickly aligned
  • expressive key images & spot illustrations
  • pictograms and series for recurring formats

How I work

To the finished image in three steps

Getting to know & sketch

We talk about the story, the audience, and the tone. Then you get pencil sketches and first character drafts to comment on.

Feedback & colour

You give feedback, I work it out: composition, colours, details. Revision rounds are planned in from the start.

Linework & handover

At the end you receive print-ready files in every format your production needs.

A fit for your project?

Send me the scope, a timeframe, and a rough idea of the mood. That's enough for a first assessment.
