This is to allow for revisions, and to make sure everything is to the highest standard. When receiving a quote you will also receive a rough time frame. Let me know if you are working on a shorter deadline and we'll see what we can do.

  • Because the covers are illustrated, the cost will vary depending on the complexity of the scene and your deadline.

    My project minimum for new clients is €500.

  • I’ll send you a payment link by email for you to pay by debit or credit card. My payment splits are usually 50/50 - with 50% being paid upfront and the remaining 50% paid upon approval of the final design. Payments in smaller installments can be negotiated.

Hi, I’m Emmeli and I want your book to shine

My earliest memory is of putting crayons to paper. As a child I was inspired by the nordic fairytales that sprung out of the mountains close by. These days, stories are still at the heart of my illustrations. 

My experience within graphic design as well as periodical publishing has equipped me with all the tools to create a stand-out cover poised for commercial success. 

I’m originally from Norway, but now home is the beautiful city of Lisbon, Portugal. Fill in the contact form and let me know how I can help you. Let’s create together!
