Hi, my name is Patricia Hodges from Victoria, Australia.

For the first half of my working life I pursued a career as a graphic designer in Melbourne working for companies such as RLD Strategic, The Walt Disney Company and Hinkler Books. I love designing products and packaging for kids – especially books.

It was during my time with Hinkler Books that I rediscovered my love of illustration. It quickly dawned upon me that nothing lights me up as much as creating an image that brings a written story to life.
