Welcome to Happydesigner

childrens book illustrator

Hello there, and thanks for dropping by! We are an animal crazy, music loving, slightly quirky and very different Design & Illustration studio. Having been operating for two decades on a professional level, working with hundreds of clients far and wide, we can certainly offer you an in-depth as well as a very enjoyable and rewarding experience when you commission us to work with you on your project! As branding specialists, and Children’s creative illustrators, we have worked with numerous agencies and publishers, developing the knowledge and expertise to be able to create for you the unique and professional designs you are searching for!

So, who are we?

Sarah founded Happydesigner almost two decades ago after discovering that it was difficult for many writers and authors to have professionally designed, uniquely illustrated books made from their work at affordable prices. During this time, we are proud to have produced over  700 beautifully illustrated books for hundreds of clients worldwide, and this still remains at the core of our business today. We have developed our own book creation process, allowing us to offer a high-quality, friendly, affordable service that is second to none. We will guide and help you through every step of the way and try to make the whole process as much fun and enjoyable as possible!

Children’s Picture Books

The Book Creation package we offer is very comprehensive, and with the processes we have spent years developing, we truly believe we provide something unique. All we need is the manuscript for your story, and we will create the whole book for you, from designing the initial draft layout, character design, and all illustrations, to the final print files ready for the printer to print! We provide the complete service, and you will also benefit from having your book traditionally illustrated by one of the leading traditional children’s book illustrators in the UK today!

We are excited to announce that every book creation package now comes with genuine assistance to help you self-publish your book, adding significant value for no extra cost! This includes help with how you obtain your ISBNs, email support throughout your book creation and publishing journey, video chats explaining the various processes, and advice regarding printing and distribution. We will also provide you with copies of our very own self-publishing and marketing guides, making your publishing experience even less daunting!

Children’s Illustration

Although we offer a complete character design service, and many of our clients give us virtually free reign to do so, a number of authors approach us with an idea already formed in their heads of what their book will look like, and a few even have detailed characters or a particular style in mind when they write. Here at Happydesigner, we are very happy to work with you in whichever way suits you best, and we have an awesome range of illustration styles for you to choose from. We all have different tastes, after all!!
