Sanya Jain – Designer

Book designer and children's illustrator with 7+ yrs in publishing. I specialise in books on art, history, nature, philosophy & mythology.

Overview

I specialise in illustrated non-fiction book designs, children's book illustrations, and cover design, offering a versatile skill set to help bring your vision to life. From designing captivating book layouts and illustrations to creating personalised stationery and marketing collaterals, I'm equipped to tackle any creative challenge.


With every project, I take a thorough and collaborative approach, ensuring the highest level of detail from initial concept to final delivery. My expertise in layout design, typography, and illustration guarantees that each piece is not only visually striking but also tailored to communicate your story effectively.


In my self-initiated projects, I often explore themes of identity, human psychology, and feminist perspectives, infusing these ideas with a vibrant colour palette. I’m passionate about storytelling through design, and I look forward to helping you craft something memorable and meaningful.

I would give Sanya anything more than five stars. Her designs are amazing and pop. She gets behind the story and brings it to life. Our project with her was outstanding, and the outcome was even better. In addition, she is very responsive and puts her all to work.
