Laura Ramos has loved to draw and create since she was tiny, and is still infamous for the messes she would make as a child. She’s also been a voracious reader for as long as she can remember and has been shaped by books her entire life.

Although her early career goal was to become an author, her path to children’s book illustration was circuitous, involving two degrees in architecture, a number of years working in the field, becoming a mom and falling in love with children’s literature all over again, and rediscovering her love for drawing.

Laura lives in beautiful Colorado with her husband, Travis, and four children.?
