About

Hi! I’m Kalei - an illustrator creating whimsical, nostalgic artwork that tells quiet stories.

My work often features expressive creatures, cozy settings and gentle colors inspired by childhood wonder, nature, and everyday magic.

Whether I’m illustrating for picture books or designing artwork for prints and licensing, I aim to create pieces that feel comforting and full of personality.

I’m currently working on my debut picture book as both the author and illustrator, and I’m open to new illustration projects, collaborations, and licensing opportunities.
