About me

Hello! My name is Karin Söderquist and I'm a freelance illustrator. My work is colourful and often filled with strong women, both literally and figuratively speaking. It’s been described as “feminine and empowering with the right percentage of whimsy”. I grew up in Eskilstuna, studied illustration at Camberwell College of Arts in London and I’m currently living in Stockholm with my husband and our cat Kimchi.
