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.

My name is Tina Rotkova, and I am a book cover designer based in Costa Rica. I began my career
in graphic design in 2015, focusing on visual identities and brand storytelling before moving into publishing.

In 2019 I joined Alpina Publishing as a book cover designer. Six years in the industry have shaped
my vision and revealed how design influences the way a story is received.

My goal is to build a strong visual bridge between authors and readers so that every cover speaks to its audience.
