Jacinta Kay – Designer

Jacinta brings her clients stories to life with her whimsical, captivating illustrations, blending charm and imagination in every cover

Overview

I am an illustrator based in Melbourne, Victoria. My illustrations are infused with a connection to nature, the human spirit, and powerful symbols that speak to the heart.


At the core of my process is a passion for bringing my clients’ visions to life. I strive to capture the essence and emotional depth of each project, distilling it down to its most meaningful elements and weaving a rich narrative, so every detail resonates with purpose. In a crowded and fast-moving world, it’s essential to capture attention in a way that moves people on a deeper level. Together, we can create imagery that compels not just the eye, but embraces meaning and visual storytelling.


Collaboration is at the heart of what I do. I believe in maintaining an open, transparent process where we stay in sync throughout, ensuring our shared vision reaches your audience with the desired emotional impact.


Our journey begins with a discovery meeting, where we discuss your vision and formulate a considered strategy for developing the perfect visuals for your project. I guide you through every step of the process, from initial concepts to final artwork. Starting with rough sketches, I offer a minimum of three unique concepts for your review. Once we’ve honed in on the final idea, we’ll explore color, texture, and any additional details. Each project includes two color variations and three rounds of revisions to ensure everything aligns with your vision. Collaboration is key, and through open communication, we’ll work together to create something truly magical.
