Bio:

Hi, I’m Kate, an illustrator and surface designer working out of my lovely studio in Manchester, UK, creating beautiful, textural illustrations in soft muted palettes.

I live with my husband and our two young sons. When it comes to books, we have one rule in our house: there is no limit!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved getting lost in the wonderful world of children’s books. As a child, I was always drawn to illustrations that were packed with imaginative details and loved studying them, getting immersed in their worlds.

I studied theatre design at university, which only enhanced my love of storytelling. Now that I’m a mum, I have the privilege of sharing my passion with my two young boys and watching their love for books grow.

I am endlessly inspired by nature, fairytale, folk music, miniature worlds and the changing seasons.
