Let's Talk Illustrators #310: Kari Percival

Happy 2025! I'm so excited to kick off our Let's Talk Illustrators series this year with the incredibly talented Kari Percival, creator of Safe Crossing! I've been a fan of Kari's since I saw her multiple award-winning How to Say Hello to a Worm (check out my favorite barcodes, the book is a designer's dream!!) in 2022 so having to wait almost three years to interview her about her process has been a challenge to say the least! Enjoy our chat, I know I did!
