Hi, I’m Alex,

​

I’m a professional illustrator, book cover designer, and logo artist with an honors degree in Multimedia Design from Brooks College of Art.

​

Based in Southern California, I live in the desert with my husband and our wonderfully chaotic rescue crew: four cats, two dogs, and a guinea pig.

​

Art has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories are of attending art classes with my mother at Interlochen School of the Arts in Michigan when I was just five years old.

​

Creating has never been something I chose—it’s simply always been part of who I am.

​

Today, I create custom book covers, branding, and illustration work for authors and creatives who want artwork that feels distinctive, intentional, and deeply personal.

​

Alongside my client work, I’m also the artist behind @fiendishgleee, where I explore my own illustration work, characters, and creative projects.

My Philosophy

​

Writing a book is hard work. Getting readers to stop, notice your story, and choose your book in a sea of hundreds of others? That can be even harder.

​

A strong cover isn’t just decoration—it’s your book’s first handshake, first impression, and first invitation to a reader.

That’s why I design every cover with both artistry and strategy in mind. My goal isn’t simply to create something beautiful (though that absolutely matters)—it’s to create a cover that captures the heart of your story while helping your book stand out in a crowded market.

​

I also believe the creative process should be exciting, collaborative, and as stress-free as possible. Working with an artist should feel inspiring—not overwhelming. I work closely with each client to make sure the final piece reflects your vision while bringing professional design experience and storytelling instincts to the table.

​

I specialize in creating high-quality covers across multiple genres, always with the same goal: helping your hard work shine.

​

And one thing that matters deeply to me: every cover I create is crafted by hand using my own illustration and design skills. I do not use AI-generated artwork in my client covers—ever. When you work with me, you’re getting original human-created art made specifically for your story.
