Rachel Ross – Designer

I'm an illustrator with 10 years of experience as a freelancer in the publishing space. Whatever your needs, I'm here to help!

Overview

Hi! My name is Rachel, and I'm an illustrator with 10 years of experience as a freelancer in the publishing space. Throughout that time, I've had the joy of working with authors, influencers, podcasters, subscription boxes, and more. In working with clients I value clarity and good communication; whether you're looking for a one-off project or a contract worker for a larger job, I'm here to help!

Working together as author and artist is a collaborative process and I'd like to make sure we're on the same page every step of the way. Artwork is the touchstone by which a book is publicly perceived—whatever it is that your story is looking to say, I'll make sure that message is clearly communicated according to your creative vision.

Every project is subject to variables in terms of timeline and budget. When these parameters are more flexible, it opens the door to more diverse stylistic options and higher visual complexity, whereas a constrained budget and timeline will require a more selective approach. Whatever the scope of your project looks like, let's work together to create a finished product that satisfies your needs!

What can I even say? The cover turned out absolutely stunning, and Rachel was truly a dream to work with from start to finish. I’m already looking forward to partnering with her again for the next two books in my series. It’s rare to find someone who not only matches but exceeds my standards wh...
