Hello! My name is Katie.

I’ve always felt that storytelling was my calling. I spent most of my childhood writing stories and creating my own characters, using a long list of animated TV shows and featured films as inspiration. Feeling even more inspired by my artistic endeavors, I attended the Illinois Institute of Art in Schaumburg. There, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts in 2007, majoring in Media Arts and Animation.

I began my career as a children’s book illustrator in 2011 with “Lyla Lyte and the Li’Berry Fruit” and “Lyla Lyte and the Loot Tree.” Since then, I have made it my mission to create loveable characters and illustrations for young audiences and the young at heart. Every project I participate in encourages me to develop my illustration skills, enhance my take on visual sequences, and improve on story development principles and styles to become a more distinguished story artist.

Please feel free to contact me for any inquiries.

Thank you for visiting!
