Malin Westman is a freelance art director and illustrator in publishing, non-profit and advertising. She grew up in Stockholm, Sweden and spent her summers on an island in the Baltic Sea where the magic of nature and independence inspired her to create.
Being surrounded by the tradition of Swedish children’s books led her to work as a graphic designer at a book publisher where she had the opportunity to work with many of Sweden’s illustrators. As an illustrator Malin wants to make an inviting entrance to the story and create a trampoline for the reader’s own imagination.
