Meet the illustrator
Laurie’s love of drawing began at age three while crayoning her way up the staircase. Those crayons were quickly replaced with pencils, paints, and paper. After graduating from both art and animation schools, she started to illustrate children’s books, designing characters for animation studios and products for licensing.
