My name is Kayt Bochenski and I am a freelance Children's Book Designer and Illustrator. I live in Buckinghamshire with my husband and two children. I love nature, pattern and playing with paper.

 

I have 20 years experience as a designer at some of the industry's best publishers including Macmillan, HarperCollins and Nosy Crow. I went freelance in 2013 after starting our family and have worked for a variety of children's publishers including Scholastic, Campbell and Bloomsbury. I now split my time between freelance design work and illustration, working from my little studio in the garden.

​

I love creating cute, vibrant characters for children's books and greetings cards. I have had a number of books published, and am currently working on an exciting new pre-school novelty series with Simon and Schuster.

​

I am passionate about design and illustration and often the two go hand in hand. I aim to bring creativity, enthusiasm and a touch of sparkle to every project I work on.

​

I can also do magic things with paper - creating flaps, sliders, wheel mechanisms and mini pop-ups.
