She leans into saturated color palettes, expressive characters, and strong compositions that are both playful and polished. Her work combines clean geometric shapes with loose, organic linework, giving every piece a handmade warmth. Kathy’s lettering is integrated into her artwork, never decorative for its own sake, and often helps carry the voice or humor of the piece.

Her illustrations have a narrative quality that appeals across industries. Whether she’s creating whimsical animals, character-driven scenes, educational visual storytelling, or portraits with emotional resonance, her work always feels approachable and human. There’s a clear sense of personality and cleverness in her choices, with a touch of folk-art influence that deepens the visual charm without sacrificing readability.

This versatility makes Kathy’s work an excellent fit for children’s publishing, editorial storytelling, greeting cards, packaging, surface design, brand campaigns, and merchandise. She thrives in projects that need warmth, clarity, humor, and heart, and she brings twenty years of professional design experience into every collaboration, ensuring thoughtful execution from concept to final artwork.
