Stephanie Brown – Designer

Professional illustrator/cover artist with 9 years of experience bringing to life fantastical stories of imagination, adventure, and romance

Overview

I have been a freelance illustrator for over 9 years. In that time, I have worked on hundreds of commissions for various clients including Del Rey Books/Penguin Random House, NYT bestselling authors Danielle L. Jensen and Karina Halle, Critical Role, Worlds Beyond Number, and Owl Hollow Press, as well as several book subscription boxes including OwlCrate, FaeCrate, and LitJoy Crate. My work has been used for covers, dust jackets, interior artwork, promotional art, and merchandise.

My schedule is flexible and I work quickly, ensuring I meet deadlines. I take great pride in supporting indie authors and am therefore adaptable to the needs of my clients.
