Danette Byatt – Designer

Professional author, designer and illustrator experienced in both children's and adult markets.

Overview

Hello! I'm Danette. I have illustrated a children's picture book (under the pen name Anika A Wolf) called "Rock and Roll Woods" for Spork / Clear Fork Publishing and I've been an award-winning graphic designer for over 7 years.

I've worked in-house in a publishing department at Legal Aid BC for over 5 years. There, I designed booklets and a graphic novel (amongst other projects) as well as illustration, which were all non-fiction publications that help low-income people with their legal matters.

I specialize in illustrating whimsical picture books, middle grade, and graphic novels.
