I often get asked what I’m working on and when the book will be ready, and most readers are surprised to find out that I have long ago finished the novel they are still waiting for. So what is taking so long? In “traditional publishing” — that is, the world of big publishers mostly based in New York like Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, etc. — authors need to be done with their writing and editing about one year before the release date. This is because there is still a lot of work to be done behind-the-scenes. For example: The art department has to design cover art. They might do the work in-house themselves, or they might hire a freelance artist to draw/paint/collage/etc. This takes time, because there will be multiple rounds of ideation, feedback, and revision. The actual book cover also needs attention — what color will it be under the dust jacket? Will there be foil imprinting? Read more 👇🏼

If you think freelance is all about freedom, think again. Real freedom comes from mastering the balance between creativity, well-being, and effective visibility. Just as I blend traditional handcrafted techniques with digital design to create bold, contemporary, and timeless prints, a successful freelance life requires dedication and mindfulness. With my unique approach, I draw inspiration from everyday occurrences, I look to where others don’t for inspiration. By combining the best of both worlds—traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. This allows me to produce distinctive designs that outlive short trend cycles and truly stand out in the market. Looking to elevate your brand with unique, high-quality prints? DM me, and let's chat about how my process can bring your vision to life. #PrintDesign #FreelanceLife #CreativeProcess #ModernCraftsmanship #BoldDesign #TimelessPrints #InnovativeDesign #LuxuryBrands #Handcrafted #DigitalArt

The ugly truth of the creative industry that needs to be abolished. 01 Pitching is a symptom of a broken system. 02 Pitching is extremely time and resource-intensive. 03 Pitching mandates unreasonable deadlines that impede meaningful work. 04 Pitching strains team mental health and motivation. 05 Pitching is political: who you know is often as important as what you present. 06 Pitching puts your ideas at risk of being used even if not selected. 07 Pitching excludes many who don’t have the resources to participate. 08 Pitching creates an unfair playing field between big and small studios. 09 Pitching is not the only option when it comes to evaluating a creative partner. 10 Pitching without pay is an outdated practice that no longer belongs in our industry.
