Alina Schedrina – Designer

I’m a children’s book designer and illustrator with over five years of experience in publishing.

I’ve worked both as an in-house designer at a children’s publishing house and as an independent illustrator, which means I understand books from every angle — concept development, storytelling, layout, production, and print preparation. I’ve led book series, collaborated closely with editors and marketing teams, and ensured visual consistency across entire projects.

As an illustrator, I focus on building atmosphere and emotional depth, creating visual worlds that feel warm, immersive, and memorable. As a designer, I think structurally: typography, pacing, hierarchy, and readability always support the story rather than distract from it.

Clients value me for my clear communication, reliability, and ability to take a project from early idea to polished, print-ready result. I’m organised, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing timelines while keeping the creative process collaborative and enjoyable.

If you’re looking for someone who understands both the artistic and production sides of children’s books, I’d love to help bring your story to life.
