Mariia Kuznetsova – Designer

I'm a graphic designer with skills in cover design, lettering, mapmaking and illustration.

Overview

I'm a graphic designer and illustrator with multiple successful projects in kit lit and non-fiction. I do layouts, illustration, and lettering.

Here's what I bring to the table:

1. I'm an excellent letterer, and I can spruce up your cover with non-traditional typographic choices;

2. I have experience in non-fiction books for tabletop campaigns and can make complicated interior layouts that integrate tables, graphs and images;

3. I am a kid lit illustrator.

Outside of the book industry, I've done gig work for magazines (The Washington Post, VICE Media, In These Times), greeting card companies (Group Greeting) and video game companies (2K Games).
