About
Designer. Book lover. Detail obsessive.
I’m Madeeha Shaikh, the designer behind DezignManiac Studio. I’ve been working in design for over a decade, with book cover and print design as my main focus — and honestly, my favorite thing to do.
Since 2012, I’ve completed more than 100 projects through 99designs, working with authors, publishers, and businesses around the world. Along the way I’ve won 107 design contests, been runner-up in 511 more, completed 67 one-to-one projects, and built repeat relationships with 48 clients who’ve come back for their next book, series, or project. My work carries a 4.92-star rating across 99 client reviews.
My focus is book and e-book covers — everything from self-help and wellness guides to business, memoir, and personal finance titles — but I also design landing pages, web pages, and WordPress-based sites for authors and small brands who need a polished online presence to match their book.
Design has always come naturally to me. I care about getting the details right: typography that’s legible at thumbnail size, imagery that fits the genre, and a cover that actually helps a book sell — not just one that looks nice in isolation.

My Design Philosophy
Today, I am driven by the belief that great design is not just about aesthetics; it’s about creating meaningful connections between brands and their audiences. I am committed to continuous learning and innovation, ensuring that my designs not only look great but also deliver results.
