Alana McCarthy – Designer

Take the stress out of bringing your book to life. I provide my clients with hand-drawn illustration and layout design for children’s picture books and novel covers. I also specialize in hand lettering for your book title as well as interior kid’s book pages.

When you work with me there's no need to hire a separate designer - I'm a one stop shop. All my images are digitally hand painted.

I do not use any AI, creating completely unique images to ensure your books stand out from the rest.

I love helping independent authors bring their dreams to reality. I'm extremely versatile and can go from elegant illustrated covers to animated children's book characters to capturing the non-fiction natural world.

I've worked with Scholastic, Penguin Books, Disney/Pixar, Adobe, Owlkids and many other top tier brands over the years. I'm super professional, easy to work with, respect deadlines and your time.

I'm also a magical unicorn of an illustrator who LOVES being art directed and bringing YOUR idea to life. Let's chat about your project!
