Bonjour!
I'm Kate and I am an English Designer/Illustrator living with my family just outside of Paris.
My career started in London where I worked as an art editor, designing magazines, and illustrating children's books.
I took a year sabbatical to live and experience the culture in Paris, then fell in love with the city and decided to stay.
I have illustrated many books specifically for babies and toddlers and was lucky enough to work on the amazing
'Indestructibles' book series by Workman Publishing and the 'Peekaboo' range by Ladybird books, to name a few.
In more recent years I have discovered the joy of surface pattern design. It's the most exciting time for me as an illustrator
as I feel like a whole new world has opened up. I have designed three fabric collections with the brilliant Cloud9 Fabrics,
and have just launched my first ever cushions range in Homesense UK. I'm so passionate about patterns and am excited about all the possibilities!
I've now been in France for ten years and on most days you will find me busy working from home
and loving every minute!
Thanks for stopping by!
À bientôt!
