I'm Katie
and i've been drawing my whole life.
After studying graphic design and drawing in college, my career has spanned creative industries from publication design and branding to illustration and lettering. Since becoming a mom to two daughters, I've absolutely fallen in love with children's books and am pursuing creating my own. I find so much joy in bringing ideas to life, and I'm eager to partner with you to make magic.
