Heiress of Lies

Designing the cover for Heiress of Lies was a tale of love, creativity, and careful diplomacy. My client? None other than my wife—talented, demanding, and utterly inspiring. Balancing her brilliant vision with my own creative instincts was no small feat, but the journey was as rewarding as the final design.

With themes of mystery, ambition, and intrigue, the cover had to capture the heart of the story while staying true to my wife’s high standards. After countless cups of coffee, several passionate debates, and a few "gentle nudges" to revisit my drafts, we created something we both loved.

Not only did this project push my design skills to the limit, but it also reinforced an important truth: the best collaborations are equal parts challenge and joy—especially when your client happens to be your wife.
