Overview
Hi! My name is Marta and I'd love to collaborate with you on your book.
I started working as a book designer and illustrator in 2014, and today I can boast both skill and broad experience. I’ve worked in both self- and traditional publishing in multiple markets (I have collaborated with authors and publishers from Scandinavia, US, UK, Germany, and Poland), and across various genres – personally, I’m a voracious fantasy and non-fiction reader, but my portfolio includes also a lot of thrillers, children’s stories, and other novels.
I’m entranced by good typography and stunning artwork – in my work, I aim to combine the two, and can both digitally paint a vibrant cover illustration and typeset the text with laser focus on even the smallest of details. I work with both print books and e-books.
I’m always on the lookout for intriguing opportunities, so…
…let’s talk about your book!

Work experience
Beans&Sparks Club
Designing typography for children's books. I worked with Beans&Sparks on five books, making the type fit the mood of each story, playing with colours and shapes, and reflecting changes in volume, importance and style. Text was treated as part of the illustration, and so had to be fun, playful, and placed in creative and surprising ways.
SAGA Egmont
Designing e-book covers for classic titles such as books by August Strindberg, Alexandre Dumas or Artur Moller. I worked on roughly 5 covers per week, creating them in accordance with SAGA's style guidelines.
Self-employed
Designing books from various genres, fiction and non-fiction, and collaborating with both individual authors and publishing companies. My experience encompasses both print and digital layouts, as well as book covers in various formats.
