Tiye F.
Professional Childrens Book Illustrator and Visual Storyteller
Every great children’s book begins with a story—but memorable illustrations are what bring that story to life. I partner with authors, publishers, educators, and creative entrepreneurs to create engaging illustrations that spark imagination, connect with readers, and make books unforgettable. Whether you’re publishing your first picture book or expanding an established series, I can help transform your ideas into polished, publication-ready artwork. I can help you with: • Children’s book illustrations • Character design and development • Book covers • Full-page and spot illustrations • Educational and activity books • Coloring books • Storyboarding and concept art • 2D animation and motion graphics • Print-ready files for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and other publishers My process is collaborative, organized, and communication-focused. From early sketches to final artwork, I work closely with clients to ensure every illustration supports the story, captures the intended audience, and meets publishing specifications. Need more than illustrations? I also help clients extend their stories through character design, branding assets, and animation for promotional content or future adaptations. If you’re looking for a partner who values creativity, professionalism, and clear communication, I’d love to learn more about your project and discuss how we can bring your vision to life. Let’s create something legendary. With Gratitude From A Fellow Legend, Tiye Samone @TiyesArtboard
