My name is Maddie and I am an illustrator and designer based in Savannah, Georgia. I received my BA in Graphic Design from Illinois State University and my MFA in Illustration from Savannah College of Art and Design. I have experience both as an in house graphic designer as well as freelancing as both a designer and children's book illustrator.
I have a passion for telling stories through whatever media I may be creating in, which often included gouache, screen printing, and digital artwork and design. My imagination is vast and colorful, just like my work!
I would love to connect to tell your story, for any inquiries, please email me at mkimber15@gmail.com.
