Katie McDee was raised in the sun-filled, salty-fresh air of Southern California and is lucky enough to still live and work there. Katie's interests include movies that don't stink, delicious eateries, and discovering new places. Her free time is spent playing ultimate frisbee and capturing her friends' most embarrassing moments in her sketchbook.

Katie's artistic talent and creativity has always been a part of her life. Whether it was hand-made cards or Super Market art contests, as a child she was always drawing. In high school she not only starred in musicals but also designed the Tshirts and posters. Although she excelled in many areas of school, art and music were always her favorite.

Today she works as a traditional and digital illustrator for the children's market. Past projects have included books, video games, board games, T-shirts, greeting cards and packaging. With a BFA in Illustration from Cal State Univ. Long Beach, and years of freelance experience, Katie has the knowledge and experience of working with art directors, designers, and other creative professionals. Her clients have included: Lakeshore Learning Materials, Exalen LLC, Red Heat, and Bionic Games.
