Overview
Hi, I'm Tuire.
I have worked over 3 years in children's book publishing as an illustrator, book creator and designer. I make children's books from start to print, from the concept and character development to the final artwork, book design and layout.
With thousands of books out there, I'll help your book stand out from the crowd with a professional finish. Based on the project, I can work as either an illustrator or a designer, or both. I also prepare the final book files, whether they are for e-publishing or printing.
My experience ranges from self-publishing, e-publishing and print-on-demand to traditional publishing. I continuously work with editors and publishers, but also with self-publishers and other private clients.
I work 100% digitally. My everyday tools are Adobe CC (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and Wacom Cintiq.
Picture books being my speciality, I have also illustrated middle grade books, designed book covers, activity books, game cards and even soft toy designs of the main characters.
I love to bring simplicity, colors, expressivity and a touch of quirkiness to my illustrations and characters.
Made with a life-long love for drawing.

I really lucked out when I found Tuire. This is my first time working on a children's book and Tuire was incredible every step of the way.
1) Illustration talent - Her illustrations are incredible. I gave her my stories, and she found the fun details that made them come to life. I loved her illustrations so much I didn't really have much to give her feedback on. But when I did, she was so happ...

Tuire was an absolutely wonderful designer to work with! She provided beautiful design elements in a responsive and prompt manner. Her communication style was helpful and genuine. I would highly recommend her for any project that needs high quality, professional work.

She's brilliant!
With Earth's Call, Tuire was given a great amount to accomplish. From cover, multiple illustrations, and finally putting the whole novel together ready for upload to our various platforms. A task that required hundreds of communications, she was great the WHOLE process. In the Climate fantasy world of my Critters, Tuire needed to go deep into their universe and create f...

Tuire was nothing short of tremendous. She exceeded my expectations in every way imaginable. As someone who was getting a book cover for the first time, the experience went as smooth as I could have hoped.
Karl Roskamp, January 2019
Tuire is a gem! She plowed through all of the challenges, until things were perfect. She is a great communicator and broke things down in easy to understand terms, so I could comprehend computer design for my covers. I will continue to hire her. I am really happy with her work!
