Paula Miquelarena – Designer

Illustrator and book lover specializing in cover design for children's, teen, and adult fiction.

Overview

Hi! I'm an illustrator with a passion for clever covers and type that pops. I'm an avid reader and I love working on teen, children's, and adult book covers, but I'm always open to new genres!

I have an Honours Bachelor of Illustration from Sheridan College, where I worked and gained knowledge on a variety of projects and a wide range of styles.

I'm happy to work together on finding the perfect way to represent your story and make it stand out on the shelf! Collaborating on initial thoughts and ideas is key, and I'm open to communicating about revisions to ensure the final result is the best it can be.
