About

My name is Kaitlyn!  I am a Milwaukee based mixed media illustrator and designer whose work draws inspiration from fashion, travel, and the beauty of everyday objects. My practice blends traditional techniques such as watercolor, ink, cut paper, and printmaking, with a particular passion for textile design.

A student at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design pursuing a BFA in Illustration, I strive to communicate a sense of joy and discovery, bringing a whimsy to everyday life. Outside the studio, I enjoy hunting for vintage clothing in thrift stores and staying active through yoga, ballet, and sports.
