Katie Manders
Illustrator
Katie is a marketer by day and artist by night. While in the day, she's happily in excel and writing emails all day, her passions are in the arts whether it be with pencil, pen, needle and thread, or crotchet hook.
She's inspired by anything that catches her eye like a beautiful bird or anything that makes her smile and laugh. Illustrating to her feels second nature as she's grown up doodling cute characters through school and drawing funny caricature cards for her friends and families birthdays. Overall, she's just passionate to draw and happy to fulfill that purpose.
