Amin SHARIF – Designer

Children's book author and illustrator. Graphic designer.

Overview

Hello

I'm Amin, and I'm not just your run-of-the-mill illustrator and author—I'm your experienced creative partner with a heart for children's picture books. With over 19 years of joyful dedication to illustration and graphic design, I've been part of the magic in publishing, adding my touch as both an illustrator and a designer.


My passion for illustration extends beyond the digital realm. I've got a strong foundation in traditional printing techniques too. What does that mean for you? Well, it means that whether it's pixels or paper, I'm all about delivering top-notch quality and fussing over the tiniest details.


I'm truly excited to bring this wealth of experience to our collaboration and ensure we create a beautifully designed book together—one that you'll be bursting with pride over. Let's make some literary magic!
