Hi, I’m Kat Brechtel.
I was born in Red Deer, grew up in Edmonton, went to school in Calgary and am now checking out life in Vancouver. I’m a freelance illustrator and storyteller -- I love a good graphic novel, and Dinotopia was my favorite book growing up. I recently graduated from the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, majoring in Character Design, a part of the Visual Communications program, and am just starting out my freelance career.
