Octavio Cordova

Octavio Cordova – Designer

A passionate of books and storytelling artist that has helped authors achieve their goals through engaging artworks for the last 12+ years.

Overview

I believe that a sucessful project combines:

- An author's vision

- Respect for the manuscript and deadlines

- Good communication between Illustrator and Author

- Advice from the Illustrator to improve the visuals of the project

I have been working in the industry since 2010 under many roles (animation, graphic design and mainly illustration) with a specific attention to storytelling, color, and expressive illustration.

Throughout this years I have honed my skills with client and project management and also different illustrations styles I can use depending on the project in hand.

I am a quick learner and also a team player who has learn both to follow the vision of someone else, but also help a client who needs a hand in developing the vision of the project.

Eager to help you achieve your dreams with my skills.

If this resonates with you and what you try to achieve with your book, it seems we are a good match and would love to know more about your project's needs.
