This cover was created for Peach Street to Lobster Lane, a vibrant travelogue by Felicity Cloake that follows her coast-to-coast bike journey through the U.S. in search of iconic American cuisine.

I was invited to bring this story to life through a bold wraparound jacket that blends expressive character design, custom typography, and playful food symbolism. Under the art direction of Ellie Game, we developed a retro-inspired road sign for the title, placing the author mid-ride against a backdrop of iconic American landscapes—from California redwoods and desert diners to the New York City skyline.

In addition to the jacket, I illustrated a detailed endpaper map charting Felicity’s real travel route, pairing regional foods with a sense of movement and discovery.

This project was a celebration of food, color, and character—a chance to merge storytelling with stylized design and typographic craft.

A Lady’s Handbook of Espionage is a steamy historical romance set in 1869 New York, where a Crown spy and an underworld mastermind form an uneasy alliance. I illustrated the cover with a strong sense of period drama, drawing visual inspiration from The Gilded Age and Bridgerton.

The emotional connection between the characters and the title lettering was central to the composition. I aimed for a high-contrast, digitally striking cover that would stand out on online storefronts. The hand-drawn typography was created specifically for this project to reflect the story’s mix of elegance, intrigue, and romantic tension.

Cover for a charming cross-cultural rom-com set in contemporary Australia, where a disheveled romance novelist and a polished journalist are thrown together by fate and deadlines. The illustration captures the humor and vulnerability of their first meeting — a moment of awkward intimacy that sets the tone for the story.

To reflect the personalities of both characters, I contrasted Shashi’s chaotic, endearing presence with Jun’s poised confidence. I filled the space with subtle narrative cues — scattered pages, an oversized calendar, and a Nepali flag — creating a layered visual story that invites readers into his world.

Typography plays a bold and playful role, echoing the book’s tone and designed to stand out in digital marketplaces. The lettering was custom-drawn to mirror the romantic tension and lighthearted charm that defines the novel.
