Jayme Ditto is a Latina illustrator, writer and graphic designer based in South Texas. She holds a BFA in Communication Design with an emphasis in Art Direction from the University of North Texas. After working for several years in the advertising industry, she decided to leave agency life behind and pursue a career in illustration and storytelling. She loves to work in mixed media, filling her pages with color and texture and is inspired by small mundane moments, nature, nostalgia, her two little girls with old lady names, and the vibrant Tex-Mex culture she grew up with. When she's not in her studio or doing buns for ballet, you can find her in her garden, baking a cake or battling her husband over a game of Rumikub.
