CHILDREN'S BOOK ILLUSTRATION/DESIGN
Maddie Saunders
HI-HO! I'm Maddie! I was born and raised in bright n' sunny California. I majored in Illustration/Fine Art and graduated from ArtCenter College of Design in 2017. I currently work as a designer while also working on personal projects. I'm inspired by all things kitsch, retro, and wonky. My work deals with human nature, body image, and finding both meaning and humor in life’s mundane moments.
