Kiera Paxton

Kiera Paxton – Designer

Freelance illustrator specialising in children's book cover design.

Overview

Hello!, my name is Kiera and I am a freelance illustrator. Over the past year I have been working with select self publishers and publishers alike.


I enjoy using bright and fun colours to bring life to my illustrations. I work digitally, in my usual style bringing my love for loose lines and textures to create whimsical illustrations.


I specialise in middle grade, fantasy, coming of age and young adult. I love to work on anything magical, whimsical or overly sweet and fun!


I think that good communication is very important when working with clients and I am always open to any feedback and will try to find the best solution at every stage of the working process!


I want to know everything about your book from the tiniest of details to the overall plot! I’m always happy to accommodate your vision. You can be as specific or as abstract as you like, and if you're unsure about an approach we can talk it through.


I'd love to learn more about your project!

Kiera made a great cover for my book, The Secret of the Arboretum. She captured both the tone and the personalities of the characters perfectly! I highly reccomend her.

Kiera was an absolute joy to work with. Not only did she communicate with me through every step of the design process, but was open to any changes I had. I adore the book cover she created for me.
