Andrea Nagle – Designer

I’m an artist with a knack for illustration, hand lettering and painting. I love creating bold and colorful pieces!

Overview

I'm a Chicago based illustrator with a passion for bringing ideas to life with the use of bold colors, fun textures, and thoughtful design. I specialize in illustration, hand lettering, gouache, and watercolor painting. I provide artwork that is unique and eye catching and my goal is to help your book stand out on the shelves so that people reach for and experience your story.If I'm not drawing or painting, I'm either trail running, cooking, listening to true crime, or of course, curling up with a good book. All of these things inspire me and help me grow as an artist. Illustration brings such a personal and human touch to book cover design and I would love to provide that service for you. Let's bring your ideas to life!

Andrea did a fantastic job capturing my vision and concepts that can be abstract. Great execution. She has been quite responsive and able to make adjustment based on my thoughts.

Andrea was very competent and professional throughout our six collaborations. She was always pleasant and helpful, and I am very pleased with my new front covers. I am now working on my 7th novel, and I would be happy to ask Andrea to provide a front cover for that also, when the time comes.

Andrea has portrayed the 'Karen's Affair' cover exactly as asked her to, and I am very pleased with the result. Will send my next project to her soon.
