Overview
Hello, 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 (PDF).
My experience ranges from traditional publishing to self-publishing and print-on-demand. Online, I am very familiar with KDP and Ingram Spark.
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 chapter books, book covers, activity books, and game cards.
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.

Dweedle is a clumsy, brilliant inventor who feels aw... read more

Each page reveals high-definition, full-color photos of fruit from A to Z. The words are written in simple, easy-to-read font, with alliteratio... read more
Though it's written with young readers in mind, ABC Veggies is a delectable book for readers of all ages!

Each page reveals high-definition, full-color photos of vegetables from A to Z. The words are written in simple, easy-to-read f... read more

I love working with Tuire! I needed one more big push to get my book converted and Tuire helped me every step of the way. There were some issues with Amazon and Tuire did additional work to make sure I had what I needed. Now the book is finally published - and I know I couldn’t have done it with Tuire. She is amazing - talent, dedication, and care all in one :)

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.
