Caitlin B. Alexander – Designer

I am excited and open to book cover projects! I am currently booking for 2025 and 2026 picture books as well.

I'm a freelance illustrator originally from Austin, Texas and now living in Manitou Springs, CO with work that focuses on a representation of repeat patterns, color and texture in our natural world, observations of daily life, and messages of strength and acceptance, via hand-lettered typography. This love of smaller details-- a cluster of mismatched city buildings, lush color in an old quilt, variations in a garden-- is what I bring to my work: an appreciation for the lovely little things in life.

Let's open the visual world that your words have brought to life! Communication is key. I always want to be sure that I'm the right fit for your vision, and I believe the process should be thorough and collaborative.

Some of my previous clients include National Geographic Learning, the American Federation for Teachers, and Ladybug Magazine. I am a lover of books (even below my reading level) and have a massive collection of inspiration at hand, always!

Self-Publishing Client Testimonials:

"Caitlin's illustrations have transformed the scientific text [of my book] into a charming story of sharing knowledge and collective action to inspire us all to help the world stay cool for the next generation... I just compare [her] art to almost anything else on the market, and it's a different level... [Her] aesthetic is what has made this book so wonderful!" --Marianna Linz, author of "Cool For You"
