Andreea Schmidt – Designer

Illustrator specialized in visual story telling through fantastical pictures and bold colour palettes.

Overview

With over a decade immersed in the vibrant world of design and illustration, I bring a seasoned eye and a deep passion for visual storytelling to every project. More than just creating aesthetically pleasing images, my aim is to craft illustrations that resonate emotionally, drawing the viewer into the heart of your book.


My journey has been one of continuous learning and skill development, from the technical precision honed through interior design to the imaginative freedom of illustration and the strategic oversight of art direction. This diverse experience equips me with a unique understanding of the publishing process and a keen ability to translate your vision into captivating visuals.

I'm particularly drawn to weaving together bold color palettes with classic artistic techniques, adding rich textures and overlays to my digital illustrations. My personal passion lies in exploring the intersection of history and fantasy, but I thrive on the creative challenge of adapting my style to meet the specific needs of each author and their story, always striving for unique and impactful results.


As an experienced art director, I understand the importance of clear communication, effective collaboration, and delivering on both your creative aspirations and practical requirements. My commitment to quality and client satisfaction ensures a smooth and rewarding partnership, resulting in a book that truly shines.


I offer a comprehensive range of illustration and design services, including:

- Book Covers

- Interior Illustrations

- Interior Format Design

- Marketing Images


Let's collaborate to bring your literary vision to life with artwork that captures the essence of your story and captivates your readers.
