About Me
My name is Tina Rotkova. I am a book cover designer based in Costa Rica, working with indie authors and publishers worldwide.
I began my career in graphic design in 2015, with a background in visual identity and brand storytelling, which continues to inform my approach to book cover design.
In 2019, I joined Alpina Publishing as a book cover designer. My experience in the publishing industry has shaped a clear understanding of how design influences genre perception and reader engagement.
I focus on creating covers that act as a strong visual bridge between a story and its audience.
