Nate Myers – Designer

Accomplished designer based in the Pacific Northwest specializing in book cover design, book layout and children's book illustration.

Overview

I'm a children's book illustrator with a background in graphic design based in the Pacific Northwest. I've worked in publishing for the last 20 years and enjoy bringing my creativity and organic, whimsical style to every project I work on. I currently provide freelance design and illustration services to multiple independent publishers. My experience designing book covers and book layouts gives me a unique perspective in not just illustrating but knowing how the illustrations should work with the text to deliver a seamless experience for the reader.

My love for nature, music, and pop culture, along with my lifelong fascination with dinosaurs, provide an endless source of inspiration which reflects in my work. I believe all great art should evoke an emotional response and that’s my goal with every illustration I make. Let’s discuss how we can work together to create effective illustrations that allow your story to truly connect with people.

I could not be more pleased with the work that Nate Myers did for my book. He listens, captures your ideas and brings them to life. As a new author, with a type A personality, Nate made the process so seamless. He is patient, meets deliverables and, when asked, will offer his opinion. My project manager shares my sentiments, as she communicated, "I have worked with many designers and illust...

I wrote to Nate as a first time author going through publishing for the first time. The immediate response, the patience and friendliness was very much appreciated. I could not think of anyone else that I would choose to do the same project with my digital layout. I plan on writing/publishing more books in the future, and I will 100% continue to work with Nate. Thank you so much for everything!
