Jade Orlando has loved art for as long as she can remember. After an impassioned childhood spent drawing cats and mythical creatures, she studied Illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Jade's work is colourful with a hint of weird, and has been featured in books, apparel, advertising and children's products. Clients include Scholastic, Carter's, Amazon, and Oopsy Daisy. Jade lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her bionic husband, greyhound, and four cats. When she's not illustrating, you can usually find her curled up with her pets and a really good book.
