Nikalas Catlow - Illustrator, Designer, Children's book author... After working as a motion designer and animator in the promo department of the Cartoon Network I left to complete an MA in Children's Book illustration at Anglia Ruskin uni in Cambridge. After graduating I went to live in Holland for two years where I spent most of my time illustrating children's books and going on long bike rides that lasted all afternoon. Hearing my career calling, I moved back to London to take up a role at Scholastic UK where I was responsible for re-branding popular non fiction series such as Horrible Science and Murderous Maths and creating and developing new series such as Book-O-rama and Henry's House. After a fact packed and fun packed year at Scholastic I headed over to Random House Children's Books where I'm currently overseeing the design of the young fiction list.
