MEET THE DESIGNER

it all started with a name...

I go by Markayla Blake—a pen name that marked the start of a new chapter in writing and ultimately led me to cover design. That journey uncovered a deeper passion for creating designs that capture the essence of each book.

When I’m not working, I’m either cozied up at home with my husband, hanging out with my daughter, or buried in a good book—with my iced coffee always nearby.

Here are some design projects I’ve worked on, along with kind words from clients. These are a few highlights from the many covers I’ve designed over the years.

"Markayla is such a pleasure to work with! She has an eye for cover design and delivers great work every time. I know coming to Covers in Color that I'm in good hands. I also appreciate that her designs are diverse with people of color. I can't recommend her enough!"

"Covers In Color delivers. Whether it's a first cover or makeover, there are many selections of premade covers to fit a variety of genres. I highly recommend Covers In Color to anyone seeking professionalism, timely service, diverse models, and quality covers at an affordable price."

S.W. FRANK, AUTHOR

"I am so grateful to find Markayla of Covers in Color, I've been with her for 5 books now, and each time the cover comes out to more than I would expect. Covers in Color works with authors who are looking for a cover designer that can provide them great design, and definitely for me, great design with black women and interracial couples, which is difficult to find."
