Working Together

You wrote the story. I’ll bring it to life! From the first sketch to a finished, print-ready book, I’ll help you bring your story to young readers’ hands.

Book Dummy Development
See your story as a book before committing to final art. A book dummy maps out pacing, page turns, and visual storytelling so you catch structural issues early, saving you time and money down the line.

Character & Environment Design
Your characters and world, designed from scratch to match your story’s tone. Consistent, memorable designs that hold up across every page and every future book in your series.

Interior Artwork & Spreads
Full-color illustrations for every page and spread, built with the same character consistency and craft that your readers (and reviewers) will notice.

Front & Back Cover Art
A cover is often the only chance you get to stop a scroll or a browsing hand. I design covers built to sell, on a shelf, in a thumbnail, or in a search result.

Publishing-Ready Formatting
Interior and cover files formatted correctly for KDP, IngramSpark, or any self-publishing platform. You won’t face file rejections or bleed errors on your own.

Print Coordination
I work directly with printing services to make sure your files translate accurately from screen to physical book –  including the colors, trim size, paper stock, and delivery.

Accessory & Merch Design
Stickers, coloring sheets, bookmarks, and more, extending your book’s world into products that build your brand, support school visits and events, and give fans something to take home.

One partner, start to finish.

Instead of piecing together a book dummy artist, a character designer, an illustrator, a formatter, and a print consultant, you get one collaborator who understands how all of it fits together – because it’s all part of the same process.

Timeline, Scope, & Next Steps

Every project is custom-quoted based on its scope, including page count, complexity of characters and environments, and any additional deliverables such as covers or accessory items. Full picture book projects typically take from 3 to 4 months, with investment starting at $6,000 for quality work.

If working together sounds like a good fit, you’re welcomed to reach out through the contact form or by email. Sharing a brief description of your project and your timeline is helpful, but no formal proposal is needed to start the conversation.
