Olivia Girgis

Olivia Girgis – Designer

I am a designer and illustrator with 10 years of professional experience with a passion for bringing characters to life.

Overview

I offer custom character illustrations for over 30 authors! My goal is to help your readers see and visually connect with your amazing characters on the page.

My typical process goes like this:

• Initial Sketch – About 2 weeks after receiving your character descriptions (or whatever I communicate ahead of time) I’ll create a rough sketch for your approval.

• Flat Color Pass – Once the sketch is approved, I add base colors so you can confirm the palette and overall direction.

• Final Illustration – After your feedback, I will complete the polished, full-resolution final artwork.

The full process typically takes 4–6 weeks from start to finish, depending on complexity and revisions! I try to make this a collaborative workflow to ensure your character comes to life exactly the way you envision it!

If you'd like to work together, please reach out with your project and I’ll provide you with an estimated timeline and a detailed quote.
