  • An understanding of print-ready file preparation for small-batch book production.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work with the client and bring their vision to life.
  • A strong sense of storytelling and visual metaphor to make abstract principles engaging for children and adults alike.


Project Timeline:

  • Week 1: Review text, creative brief, and initial discussion of style direction. Provide rough concept sketches for cover, accent pieces, and sample page.
  • Week 2: Incorporate feedback and deliver refined sketches for all 11 pages plus cover/title concepts.
  • Week 3: Present near-final illustrations for client approval and adjust as needed.
  • Week 4: Deliver finalized artwork, cover design, and supporting elements in print-ready format.
