- Bio
Karen Craig has been designing and illustrating for children for many years. She welcomes all projects, both large and small.
Her first job was to conceptualize, design and illustrate kids' educational materials for Upstart, now owned by the Highsmith Company.
This led her to a job with Nickelodeon where she was a senior designer for seven years, learning the many facets of working within the realm of licensed brands, products and properties.
Karen has illustrated over 25 books for various publishers, based on the Nickelodeon series, Blue's Clues.
Karen is a big fan of paper engineering and also enjoys creating 'artist books' of all kinds.
The Museum of Modern Art published two of her pop-up card designs for their 2007 through 2011 Holiday lines. One of these designs was recently selected as a Louie Award finalist by the National Greeting Card Association.
Karen's cloth book concept 'Play Pockets' was published by Innovative KIDS and received a Seal of Excellent from Creative Child Magazine.
She is currently developing additional soft book and board book concepts, although she has yet to seek out a publisher. Inquiries welcome!
