Cassandra Allen is an independent illustrator specialising in children's books. Born in Australia, she now lives in Switzerland and continues to work on projects world-wide, thanks to the marvellous internet! After years of study in Melbourne Australia, including fine art, photography and multimedia, her independent illustration and graphic design business took flight, based in a collective studio in Prahran. Several years later Cassandra followed her heart and quit graphic design altogether, focusing solely on illustration. After moving to Europe her career grew wings and she began illustrating children's books, amongst other editorial work and individual pieces. Cassandra's illustrations have appeared in children's books, exhibitions, magazines, newspapers, advertising, websites, greeting cards and t-shirts.
