I’m Kirstin Hepburn, a freelance graphic designer, digital artist, and children’s book author/illustrator. For nearly two decades, I've combined creativity and strategy to help brands tell their stories. After starting my career in marketing strategy and public relations, I discovered my passion for design. In 2012, I launched Jacaranda Marketing + Design, working with a wide range of clients ranging from ambitious start-ups to established corporations in both the public and private sectors. Now, I’m pursuing my dream of writing and illustrating children's books, inspired by my son (and Creative Director), Dawson. My successful 'Dumpling' book series continues to grow, and I look forward to bringing more whimsical characters and meaningful narratives to young readers around the world.
