Self-publishing a children’s book? Set these three production decisions before illustration begins: 1) final trim size and bleed, 2) page count and page turns, and 3) the printer’s exact cover/spine specifications. Getting those right early prevents expensive rework later.
I help individual authors turn a finished manuscript into a complete cover plus up to 32 designed interior pages, print-ready files, and practical KDP support. The complete package starts at $200 ($100 to begin, $100 at approval). Artist-directed AI-assisted visuals are disclosed; traditional non-AI work is quoted separately.

Finally get to share this one — been sitting on it for a while and couldn't post until now 🎉
Designed the full landing page (and a bunch of product screens) for XRS, a prop trading platform. The idea: traders pass a funded-account challenge, trade the firm's capital, and keep up to 80% of the profits.
Prop trading is a pretty saturated space and most platforms look the same — dark UI, generic trading stock imagery, nothing that actually sticks. So instead of the usual playbook, I leaned into a black-and-gold identity — including custom, hand-crafted illustrations built specifically for this project (the glowing spheres, gradient icons, all of it) instead of stock assets or generic 3D packs.
Some of what's in there:
— Custom illustrated icons for the 3-rule system and "trader to fund manager" journey
— Floating reward/payout cards as social proof right in the hero
— A plan selector so people can pick account size, currency, challenge type
— Trustpilot ratings + a testimonial section for trust
— Support + FAQ blocks, because people are putting real money on the line
Genuinely proud of how this one came together — every visual element built from scratch for the brand, full case + more screens are up now, finally 👀
This came out great, the black-and-gold direction feels so much more premium than the usual trading platform look.
International Yoga Day Campaign
Designed a social media creative for International Yoga Day focused on preschool engagement. The design blends playful illustrations, educational doodles, and clean typography to encourage participation while maintaining a cheerful visual identity.
Spent some time building a personal concept for an FPV drone streetwear brand. I designed the graphics first, then explored how they could live on apparel, stickers, and product mockups. Personal projects like this are where I get to experiment with branding, illustration, and AI-assisted visualization without client constraints.
