Zoe Ranucci

Zoe Ranucci is an illustrator and graphic designer specializing in illustration for children's picture and chapter books as well businesses geared towards children. She has been illustrating for the children's market for almost 20 years and thrives at bringing her client's visions to life and infusing her art with joy and happiness. Aside from children's publications, she also provides a good deal of character and mascot development and combines her graphic design background with her illustration skills to develop engaging promotional pieces and other collateral.

NOTABLE: in 2024 Zoe was chosen by US First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden, to illustrate the 2024 White House Holiday Tour book!  They flew her in for a private tour of the White House in August 2024, then she illustrated the rooms decked out in holiday splendor, all based on descriptions because they do not actually decorate the rooms until Thanksgiving. She went back in December to attend the reception unveiling the decor and got to meet Dr. Biden in person! 

Today the majority of her illustration is created exclusively on her iPad using Procreate. Zoe is also an avid user of Adobe Illustrator in which she uses more for vector logo characters and mascots.  Other programs she is fluent in include Adobe InDesign and Photoshop.

Originally from upstate NY, Zoe currently lives in Belmont, NC just outside of Charlotte with her husband and two daughters. Operating her studio from her home where she is never short on inspiration... surrounded by her house-full of furry friends... Juno the Bloodhound, Mochi the min doxi, Fender the cat, and Wasabi the Bearded Dragon!
