Kate Pullen is an illustrator and letterer from Melbourne who can’t drink caffeine, making her choice of profession and home city seriously questionable. Slowly, and without any grand plan, letters and words have become her primary focus. Often gathering inspiration from pop culture (read: watching a lot of movies), she’s driven by the hope that these illustrations may help crack a smile or two.
Kate works as a graphic designer, sits on the Victorian Council for the Australian Graphic Design Association (AGDA), exhibits when possible, works with The Design Kids, scrolls through Instagram like a fiend, and freelances in typography, illustration, and just a pinch of writing. Her work has been published in both the Typism and Semi-Permanent books, and in 2015 she began running lettering workshops.
