I’m Arati Devasher.
Having been a freelance graphic designer for over two decades, I nurture long-term working relationships with my clients, a list which includes Worth Press Ltd, World Book Media, Harper Collins India and Oxford University Press India as well as independent authors.
My Story
Born and brought up in India, I moved almost annually with my Indian Army family. New Delhi became the first city in which I lived for any decent length of time, through my BFA in Applied Art at the College of Art in Delhi University and then the first years of my design career.
My husband and I moved to the United Kingdom in 2009 and have remained here since. London has become home.
Design Services:
Book Design
My speciality is book design: trade illustrated titles, craft books, fiction and non-fiction book covers. I work with both publishers and authors.
Illustration
I create bespoke illustrations for book covers and trade titles, both digitally and traditional media of gouache, pen and watercolours.
Art & Prints
Having drawn and painted all my life, my personal art practice is both a joy and a solace. Please follow along at @ArtySubu on instagram.

― Nandita Jaishankar Allana
… Working within a pre-existing framework is not without its challenges, but Arati’s flexibility overcame all structural obstacles. Turnaround time was excellent. Above all, Arati brought flair and lapidary precision to every aspect of the project. Our print-ready files bear witness to her professionalism.

― Nissar Allana / TTA
Arati worked with me only for a couple of months. What struck me about her was the quality of her work. I can’t remember an instance where we would need Arati to rework on anything she had submitted. Or remind her about deadlines, as she would always deliver what was required on or before time. […]
