The client’s clear vision and thoughtful communication made the creative process seamless, while the poetic nature of the manuscript itself sparked ideas that shaped every detail of the design. Collaborating with one of the leading publishers on this project was an honor, and I’m thrilled to see this cover become a visual reflection of the book’s soul.")

I imagined a group of curious little adventurers exploring the grand temples of Mount Olympus, where they might bump into Ares, the god of war, not as a fearsome warrior, but as a misunderstood uncle who teaches them about bravery, fairness, and how not every battle needs to be fought with swords.
I used warm, earthy tones and flowing lines to blend the grandeur of classical Greek design with the softness of children’s storybook illustration. Every detail, from the playful armor to the sparkling stars above the Acropolis, was crafted to invite children into a magical retelling of myth, where lessons are gentle, friendships matter, and imagination leads the way.")

Collaborating on this project for one of the leading publishers was both exciting and fulfilling, allowing me to bring their vision to life while adding my creative touch. I’m proud of how this cover turned out, and even prouder of the smooth, inspiring collaboration behind it.")

I created a detailed, symmetrical layout featuring hand-drawn botanical and whimsical elements, such as butterflies, mushrooms, lanterns, and books, evoking a sense of wonder and creative exploration.
The overall design embraces a decorative yet balanced composition with a modern vintage style. The intricate line art was drawn digitally, with a subtle metallic ink effect against a rich blue background, giving the cover an elegant and timeless feel.")

My client came to me with a beautiful vision — to create a timeless deck filled with personal characters, each one representing someone meaningful in their life. From that starting point, we built a collection of illustrated portraits inspired by classical aesthetics, mythology, and old-world charm.
Each card features a unique character with distinct personality traits, brought to life through detailed linework, textured backgrounds, and a warm, earthy color palette. We drew from traditional portraiture and medieval symbolism to create a sense of depth and elegance, while still keeping the tone playful and heartfelt.
The final result is more than just a deck — it’s a keepsake. A meaningful blend of friendship, legacy, and design that reflects the client’s story and vision. I’m incredibly honored to have brought it to life.")

Eliz. The challenge was to visually capture the story’s depth and inner journey using symbolic elements and a poetic atmosphere.
The concept revolves around the untamed nature of water, used as a metaphor for emotional turbulence, freedom, and personal transformation. I created the full wraparound cover design, including the front, spine, and back cover, with a classic yet meaningful approach.")
