Kat Squire is a designer/illustrator based in London. She graduated in June 2007, from Central Saint Martins with a First in BA Textile Design (Print). In March 2007, she won Eddie Squires bursary for “outstanding contemporary printed furnishing fabric design” from the RSA. During her second year at college she discovered a passion for drawing and hasn’t put her pen down since. Her illustration work is typically composed of pen and ink drawings, collaged using different papers, coloured tape and stitch.

Since graduating she has worked as a freelance designer for a New York based surface design studio and for Skew studio, a London based children’s design company, on projects for the BBC and Nickelodeon. She loves designing, and one day hopes to market her one-off screen-printed and embroidered blankets (have a look at her website!) She enjoys drawing animals, playing the piano, giggling uncontrollably, and bum-boarding down icy slopes backwards. She dislikes buccaneering rats that invade her cupboards and cheap umbrellas.
