About this gig
From Idea to Playable Game Design AND Development, All in One Place
Most sellers either design your game or code it, rarely both. I do both, so your board game, card game, or tabletop game goes from concept to a fully playable product without juggling multiple freelancers.
What I offer:
- Original game concept & core mechanics
- Rulebook writing & layout
- Card, box & component design (print-ready)
- Board game map & layout design
- Digital prototypes & playable builds (Unity 2D)
- Playtesting feedback & balance adjustments
Perfect for:
- First-time creators with just an idea
- Kickstarter campaigns needing a polished prototype
- Studios needing rulebook + art + dev support
Why work with me:
One point of contact for design AND development faster turnaround, consistent vision, print-ready files AND playable digital builds.
Message me before ordering if your project doesn't fit a package I'll build a custom offer.

Welcome! I am Esther, a professional illustrator specializing exclusively in tabletop gaming, custom tarot decks, and oracle cards. I help indie creators and authors turn their concepts into beautiful, production-ready card assets. My passion lies in creating authentic, 2D analog aesthetics, focusing heavily on rich, hand-drawn linework, classic ink outlines, and tactile paper textures. Every asset I deliver is built to meet the exact print-ready specifications of houses like MakePlayingCards and TheGameCrafter. Let's design together!

FAQ
Do you offer board game design and development, or just one?
Both. I handle full board game design (concept, mechanics, rulebook, card design) and game development (Unity 2D builds), so you get a complete tabletop game or card game from a single source.
Can you design my card game or trading card game (TCG) from scratch?
Yes — I design original card games and TCGs, including card layout, card illustration direction, rulebook design, and box/packaging mockups, ready for print or Kickstarter.
Do you create a digital version of my board game?
Yes, my Premium package includes a playable Unity 2D prototype of your board game or card game, with basic UI and core mechanics implemented.
What's included in your rulebook design service?
A clear, print-ready rulebook covering game mechanics, setup, and rules — formatted and laid out professionally, not just written text.
I only have an idea for a tabletop game, can you help?
Absolutely. Most clients start with just a concept. I develop the core game mechanics, structure, and rulebook from the ground up.
Can you convert my physical board game into a digital app?
Yes — I specialize in taking existing tabletop games or card games and building a digital Unity 2D version for playtesting or publishing.
Do you playtest and balance the game mechanics?
Yes, playtesting feedback and mechanic balancing are included starting in the Standard package.
