Katie Jacobs (She/They) is an artist and illustrator whose love of visual storytelling began with a second-grade narrative project. Since then, their enthusiasm for content creation and character design has soared (thank fan culture). Katie works to bring more representation of diverse bodies and identities into visual media, tapping into what they see in their community and beyond. Now, in the final year of her BFA program and dodging academic burnout, she spends her free time designing characters for imaginary worlds and helping others bring theirs to life. They also accept small commissions and collaborate on passion projects while constantly learning new techniques and eagerly refining their visual voice.

When they are not designing characters, they gravitate towards photography. Much like the characters on her page, she looks for unique individuals with stories she can tell through pictures.
