Hi, I’m Lily Williams!
I'm an Eisner Nominated author and illustrator of graphic novel (and banned book) Go With The Flow and the critically acclaimed award-winning author and illustrator of nonfiction picture book series If Animals Disappeared. My experience in feature film animation, as well as, higher ed education and elementary school education have given me a unique perspective to help you launch your career.
I spent several years at the university level getting senior Illustration students ready for graduation by developing and executing a thesis project and developing their understanding of professional practice. In my own career, I worked in feature film animation before making the nerve-wracking pivot to freelance illustration. As a freelance illustrator I've worked for many companies including Macmillan Children's Publishing, Bloomsbury Publishing, HarperCollins Publishers, Warner Brothers Animation, Mattel Inc., and more.
Both as an educator and in my own practice, I know what it's like to look down the foggy road of career paths and feel overwhelmed by feedback and worried about what steps to take.
