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, publishers and print houses, but also with self-publishers and 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 designed book covers, activity books, game cards and even soft toy designs of the main characters.
I hold a BA degree in advertising. In 2014 and 2015 I worked for leading advertising agencies in Finland (SEK & Grey) and Belgium (Serviceplan).
Today, I have the sheer pleasure of creating illustrations and characters that are simple, colourful, expressive, fun, child-like, eye-catching and emotional.
Drawn with a life-long love for drawing.
