Hi, I’m Upit Dyoni - the illustrator behind stories that stick in the hearts of readers. Since 2010, I’ve been helping authors, publishers, and brands turn ideas into warm, expressive illustrations—whether it’s for a children’s book, a quirky mascot, or an eye-catching book cover. With a digital hand that mimics traditional brush like pencil, watercolor, I bring a personal, human touch to every project. I’ve worked with publishers across genres and formats—from picture books to educational content, fiction to non-fiction—and I also know how to make artwork print-ready for platforms like Amazon KDP. If you need help with cover design, page layout, packaging illustration, A+ content, or a custom character, you’re in the right place.
