Raquel Colmenares

My name is Raquel Colmenares

I’ve been a graphic designer and illustrator for more than 5 years. I have specialized in layout, design and editorial illustration since then, however, I also have designed graphic pieces with digital marketing agencies. I have also been in charge of art direction and project management for several editorial and audiovisual projects.

I have a wide experience designing books, from children’s books to adult books about science fiction, self-help and journals.

Most of the books are published on Amazon, so I have a lot of experience in KDP self-publishing books and all the setting needed for it in terms of design. The projects have been bestsellers in Amazon categories such as Spanish books and also several of them in different bookstores around the world.

Most of my experience has been remotely as it has allowed me to work with different authors from multiple countries.
