03 / THE DESIGNER

Hi, I’m Youness.

Youness El Hindami near the Golden Gate Bridge

I turn the atmosphere of a story into a cover you can recognize at a glance.

I’m a graphic designer from Morocco, now living in California. I specialize in book covers and work primarily with independent authors. Since 2016, I’ve designed more than 800 covers, helping writers give their stories a visual identity.

My work ranges from minimalist silhouettes and double-exposure compositions to decorative fantasy covers and foil-ready line art. I care about the big idea, the small details, and how the finished book feels in a reader’s hands.
