Bailey Vidler – Designer

Children's book illustrator specializing in wildly imaginative stories, touched by whimsy and adventure, set in richly crafted worlds.

Overview

Hello! My name is Bailey and I’m a children’s book illustrator from Phoenix, Arizona. I graduated in 2020 from Arizona State University with my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Graphic Design. I worked in a printing facility for three years where I developed expertise in designing for print.


After that, I worked as a graphic designer and illustrator developing learning curriculum materials for Children’s Learning Adventure, which is where I found my interest in developing young minds.


Most recently, I have illustrated the first two novels in the Junior Rangers Investigative Club series, written by Nathan W. Landrum.


What am I doing now? I am always looking for exciting new opportunities in the picture book and middle grade realms. I have a particular love for book subjects that are whimsical and fantastic in nature.

I wanted to work with Bailey as I had seen some of her previous work and thought she could help bring my characters to life. She did exactly that and exceeded my expectations. She kept me up to date at every step of the way. I am a first time author and she helped me with the layout and was able to answer most of my questions about the process and how things work. Im so pleased with the finishe...

Bailey was great! She was quick to respond, professional, kept communication lines open, worked with me closely, made any adjustments I wanted. But most importantly, she is very passionate and detailed about her work. I am very pleased with the results and would not hesitate to work with her again.

Bailey was wonderful to work with. When first starting, I gave her a couple of suggestions, although I thought maybe one of them would be too busy. She picked one of my suggestions and added two ideas of her own. I went with the suggestion I made because it fit with one of the chapters of my book. Bailey even offered three different styles for the title. She listened to the comments I made on t...
