From Bitter to Better
Services: Book Design, Packaging, Illustration
Bitter to Better: A Chocolate Momma's Journey to Self-Discovery by Karen Taylor Bass is a powerful ode to Black women in their 40s and 50s, a time when life's tapestry weaves together the bitter with the sweet.
My services were commissioned to bring Taylor Bass’s words to visual life in the form of a striking yet powerful intimate front cover illustration, friendly interior spot illustrations with a informal book design style that fills the reader with the same spiritual energy as her words do.

“Andrew personifies graphic design.
I believe he sleeps, eats, and dreams it.
I have worked with Andrew for over 10 plus years and he is the consummate professional. He is creative with concepts; flexible as it relates to suggestions; and most importantly, he thinks out the box.”
