hello!
I’m an illustrator, graphic designer, and art educator based in the Seattle area — and I’m currently seeking representation!
I delight in colorful, playful and inclusive content, and I believe in work that serves my community and inspires everyone to make cool stuff. I’m most excited about children’s books, middle grade graphic novels, and commercial illustration projects.
When I’m not creating, I’m walking through the woods, baking, or playing music. Thanks for visiting my page!
“Working with Skylar over the past several years has been a fabulous experience! Her art is beautiful, but what may not be obvious when you first see it is her attention to detail: She is absolutely dedicated to helping you translate your vision into the best version of what you want to create. There have been many occasions where we weren’t quite sure how to explain what we wanted but Skylar is excellent at patiently parsing our vision and helping us put it into words and then into images. She goes beyond illustrations to help with colors, font choices, really the whole design process. Our entire program owes so much to Skylar’s artwork, in cohesiveness, tone and image. And she really is a delight to work with. 10/10, I would love to work with Skylar again!”
“The quality of Skylar’s artwork, of course, stands for itself. What you won’t see in her illustrations, though, is how enjoyable she is to work with. She doesn’t need to be micromanaged, and navigates problems on her own, only asking for help when it’s needed. She holds a high bar for getting things right, and takes critique wonderfully — even pushing back where it’s needed. In five years of working together, I don’t think she’s ever delivered anything late that she didn’t warn me about in advance.
When it comes to engaging with clients and managing others, I’m able to trust her completely, taking much stress off my plate. In my twenty years of experience in small educational businesses, Skylar is without a doubt the most professional person I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.”
“Skylar was fantastic to work with! Combines artistic talent, great communication skills and the will to keep going until the vision is fully realized. Highly recommended.”
“Skylar’s work as a visual translator, taking the abstract, half-baked ideas from our team and actualizing them into beautifully crafted, clean designs made working with her an absolute joy. She worked diligently with our creative team to deliver cohesive, targeted campaigns that refined our image and communicated a professionalism that was lacking in our marketing collateral and brand image. She was easy to work with and flexible, as well as on-time and on-budget with her deliverables. I can not speak more highly about this designer.”
