Kajsa Hallström – Designer

I'm a children's book illustrator who love to create scenes full of life and emotion.

Overview

Hi there! I'm a professional illustrator with 5+ years and have illustrated over 20 children's books - from picture books to middle grade. I have a good sense of storytelling and how illustration and text can work together to enhance the reader's experience. I like to give my characters a lot of personality and expression that can give a sense of recognition and/or evoke an emotion. Clients include: Puffin Books UK, Egmont Publishing, Bonnier Carlsen, Google Sweden and more.

When working with me, you can be sure that I will keep you involved throughout the process and allow you to give feedback on every important stage of the project.

If you think I could be a good fit for your project, I'd love to hear from you!
