My Louie Award winning card ©Designer Greetings

Hi there! My name is Lesley Breen Withrow, and I'm an illustrator and designer specializing in surface designs, greeting cards, gift products, and children's publications. My artwork can be seen on a range of products from books, apps, greeting cards, scrapbooks, puzzles, stickers, magazines, packaging and games.

For as long as I can remember, I have been creating art. One of my first memories is drawing boxes and sphere shapes with my Nana. As a kid I enjoyed making pictures and telling stories visually and was always the girl with a pencil and sketchbook in my hand. As an adult, I still love seeing the world through the eyes of a child and feel so lucky to make pictures every day!

After graduating from college in 1998, I was a graphic designer for an architectural firm and then a creative planner and product designer for a greeting card company, until I became a full-time freelancer in 2005. Since then I have worked on many incredible projects for amazing clients -- and even won a Louie Award! I also had the joy of teaming-up with my husband, Steven Withrow, to be the co-author of Illustrating Children's Picture Books (RotoVision/F+W Media), published worldwide in 2009. 

I love to bring a fun and energetic spirit to all of my pictures. My favorite projects incorporate lively colors, textures, and patterns, and are specially suited for a very young and inquisitive audience. Please contact me to discuss any illustration or surface design opportunities, I would love to speak with you!
