Author Services
Illustration, bookmarks & magnetic bookmarks designed with readers in mind.
I work with indie and traditionally published authors to create original artwork and bookish merchandise that feels intentional, beautiful, and aligned with your story. Whether you’re looking for custom illustrations, book cover art, or professionally made bookmarks for your readers, I offer a cozy–professional experience built for long‑term creative partnerships.
Illustration & Design Services
I offer original, custom artwork created specifically for your book, brand, or reader experience. All artwork is hand‑illustrated by me and thoughtfully designed to translate beautifully across both digital and physical formats.
Available Illustration Services
- Spot illustrations
- Character illustrations
- Illustrated quotes & typography
- Pattern or repeating designs
- Bookmark & merchandise artwork
- Book cover design (ebook & print)
Book cover design is offered as a core service. I design covers for both ebook and print formats; however, I do not handle book printing.
Licensing & usage are determined on a case‑by‑case basis depending on how the artwork will be used (promotional, retail, exclusive, or non‑exclusive).
Pricing: Artwork pricing varies based on complexity, scope, and usage. All projects are quoted individually, with pricing starting at a base rate. Please reach out for a custom quote.

I create high‑quality bookmarks and magnetic bookmarks designed for authors to sell, gift, or include in special editions and reader boxes.
