Eoin Ryan – Designer

Experienced Illustrator with a passion for beautiful books, excited by the prospect of helping Authors achieve their creative vision.

Overview

I have 12 Years experience working as an illustrator for all the major Book Publishers in the UK and many in the US. I also have extensive experience illustrating covers and editorial artwork in other Magazines and Print/News media such as New York Times, Wall St Journal, Guardian and many others.


I have a particular passion for creating beautiful book designs that stand out on a shelf and communicate clearly the essence of the Author's vision. Having pursued this for most of my career collaborating with Art Directors and Publishing houses, I know what it takes to work together and produce a professional looking result. I'm now excited by the prospect of working directly with Authors to help them realise their creative vision.
