    We’ve crafted designs for some of the big names in the industry, and we bring the same care, creativity, and expertise to every project, big or small.

    Why Editorial Design Matters

    Publishing is more than putting words on a page, it’s about creating an engaging experience that builds trust with readers. Yet many first-time authors and businesses struggle with:

    Common struggles we solve:

    ❌ Unpolished layouts that make books and reports look amateur.
    ✅ We transform them into clean, professional designs that elevate your message.

    ❌ Confusing self-publishing steps that waste time and delay launches.
    ✅ We guide you through the process, making it simple and stress-free.

    ❌ Inconsistent visuals across covers, pages, and marketing materials.
    ✅ We create cohesive covers, pages, and marketing materials that reinforce your brand.

    ❌ No marketing plan after publishing resulting in low visibility and lost sales momentum
    ✅ We provide post-publication strategies to help you promote your book effectively.

    That’s where strong editorial design changes everything. At Kakao Studio, we craft layouts, covers, and illustrations that look market-ready and align with your brand. Paired with self-publishing support, your book or report won’t just look good — it will connect, inspire, and sell.

    See How We Helped Konika Wong

    How to Tame a Tickle Monster, Children’s Book Illustration & Publishing Support

     

    Client: Konika Ray Wong
    Project Type: Editorial Design, Independet Publication

    This project was a full creative collaboration with author and educator Konika Wong from Girl Power Science, focused on bringing her empowering children’s book “How to Tame a Tickle Monster” to life.

    We developed the visual style, illustrations, and book layout, crafting a playful and colorful world that helps children learn about boundaries, consent, and body autonomy in a way that feels friendly, safe, and fun. Each monster character was designed to be expressive and approachable, using soft textures, bright colors, and rounded shapes to create emotional connection and trust with young readers.

    Beyond illustration, we also guided the independent publishing process through Amazon KDP, ensuring a smooth production workflow from file preparation to print and digital formats. Additionally, we designed the A+ content for the Amazon listing to enhance visibility and engagement.

    The final result is a joyful, meaningful picture book that combines storytelling and education, helping children find confidence in their voice and body autonomy through kindness and creativity.
