Nazli Tahvili

Nazli Tahvili – Designer

Illustrator & author Nazli creates acclaimed children’s books, including wordless picture books. Based in California.

Overview

Stories are my playground, and illustration is how I invite others in.

I help authors bring emotionally rich, visually distinctive children's books. With 20+ years of experience as an illustrator and author, I've created internationally recognized picture books, including a 2019 IBBY UK nomination.

My work focuses on storytelling through imagery, capturing subtle emotions, atmosphere, and character depth that engage both children and adults.

I offer full illustration packages, from character development to final print-ready files, guiding you through a smooth and professional process from start to finish.

If you're looking for illustrations that elevate your story and stand out in today's competitive market, I'd love to collaborate.
