Drawing joy into every story.
Hey there! I’m Stephanie MacKay—children’s book illustrator, character dreamer-upper, and certified doodle enthusiast. Ever since I could hold a crayon, I’ve been inventing quirky creatures and magical worlds. Now I get to do it professionally (with fancier tools and fewer snack breaks).
I team up with authors and editors to create illustrations that giggle, glow, and tug at little heartstrings. My style? Warm, expressive, and just the right amount of whimsical. Because pictures shouldn’t just sit there—they should dance with the story.
I’ve had the joy of working with amazing publishers like Grund, Éditions Minimo, Bayard Canada, Éditions Petit Homme, Dominique et Compagnie, and Éditions Midi Trente. Every book is a new adventure, and I’m always up for the ride.
So if you’ve got a story that needs a splash of magic and a dash of heart, let’s chat. I’d love to help bring your vision to life—one delightful doodle at a time.
