Paris Ioannou – Designer

I'm an illustrator working in entertainment and publishing for the past 10 years. I specialize in LitRPG, Fantasy and Sci-Fi Cover Art.

Overview

For the past 10 years , I have worked as a 2D Artist in the video game industry and as a freelance illustrator doing artwork for books of best-selling authors and publishers, trading card games, independent commissioners, indie game studios and AAA game studios through outsourcing teams.

I love great communication, problem solving, and my passion is giving life to worlds through imagery, making the viewers , the authors, the creators and myself happy and entertained. I strive for quality storytelling and narrative. I am always eager to form new professional relationships and collaborations in order to meet new IPs and shape new stories through illustration.
