Overview
Hi! I'm Rachel, a graphic designer with experience collaborating with publishers and authors to design covers and build layouts. Genres I've worked with include dramas, thrillers, literary fiction, poetry, and non-fiction.
While the text is the most important part of any book, I love transmitting that excellence into an impactful visual form that quickly communicates the essence of your book to the reader. Professional presentation is part of what makes a book stand out on a shelf and encourages someone to pick it up to learn more.
I utilize a variety of drawing styles and approaches depending on what is most apt for the project. My skill set includes photography & photo manipulation, digital painting, traditional painting, and fine art illustration. I am comfortable with a range of topics and styles, so if you have something in mind, I would love to hear about it and bring it to life!
If you have any questions, please feel free to message me.
Hope to work with you soon! :)
