Kajsa Hallström

I’m Kajsa and I'm a part time freelance illustrator. I’ve been drawing and making up stories since I was a little kid and after been working as a Product developer/Design engineer for about 5 years, I decided in early 2019 that it was time to pursue my dream and become a children's book illustrator.

I love creating illustrations full of personality and atmosphere. Quite often you can find whimsical and magical details in them, but most importantly my goal is to tell a story.

I also work part time as a freelance publisher for a children's book publisher here in Sweden. My role and responsibilities there make me well versed in the process of creating and producing a children's book from start to finish (including print related matters). 

I live with my fiancé in the very South of Sweden, surrounded by golden fields and beech forests.

I've worked with several publishers here in Sweden and have illustrated a number of picture books and chapter/middlegrade books. Every now and then I do editorial work and other more short term assignments. I'm always looking for new projects and stories so don't hesitate to contact me!
