About Me...
My name is Kat and I'm an Illustrator and Designer, here's my story, basically I have been an Illustrator in the Greeting Card industry since I left university in 2002. I was lucky enough to get a full time job straight after graduation, I moved to the beautiful city of Bath and have been here ever since.
Unfortunately I was made redundant from that job in 2006, I spend about 6 months out of work before I landed another full time Illustrator position with a company in Bristol. A good company but a punishing 2 hour daily commute which lead to me being out of the house from 7-am till 7-pm, that's a damn long day!
I usually be so knackered by the weekend I'd sleep through most of it, this went on for 2 years, until a year ago when I was yet again made redundant!
So there I was, huge mortgage to pay, spiraling living costs and for some reason I'm not that sad about it, I realized I hadn't been happy for a while, funny how I never noticed that before. Now I finally get to do what i've always wanted to do, I work from my own little desk in our tiny cottage, get to see my husband more and play with our cat...oh and do lots of drawing!
I can't think of anything better really...
