Lemony Rose Studio is the creative hub of designer and art director Emily Atkinson,
a book and magazine designer with a soft spot for illustrated non-fiction and a love for layout that tells a story.
At Lemonyrose Studio, I specialise in book cover design, bringing together strong visuals, clear messaging and thoughtful, inclusive design. With a background in magazine art direction and marketing, I understand how to create work that’s not only beautiful but strategically crafted to connect with your audience, whether you’re a publisher, author, or brand.
I care a lot about how things look and how they make people feel. That’s why I design with accessibility and inclusion in mind, making sure the work speaks to more people and leaves no one out.
Whether you need a striking cover, a full publication, or supporting materials to bring your project to life, I’m here to help you make something lovely, with care.
