Katie Hatz is a designer and illustrator in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As she has always loved books most of all, she is thrilled to be working at Quirk Books, designing the kinds of things she'd probably want to make anyway if she didn't have a job sucking up all her time.

When she's not making awesome books, Katie designs and writes for CMYK Magazine, an excellent quarterly publication that showcases emerging creative talent in the fields of design, illustration, photography, and advertising.

The rest of Katie's time is divided between HGTV, kitchen adventures, and her cat Indiana Jones.
