Kristen Adam is an illustrator and print and pattern designer based in beautiful San Francisco, California. While studying illustration at California College of the Arts, Kristen quickly fell in love with the deep emotional resonance she found in the art of picture books. Her illustrations use a rich blend of digital media and traditional textures and are largely inspired by her love of nature. When Kristen’s not wandering the woods identifying wildflowers, you might find her stargazing, reading sci-fi/fantasy novels, or snuggling with her dog Charlie.
