Cari Vander Yacht

Cari Vander Yacht is an award-winning illustrator and animator originally from Oregon and now based in Brooklyn, New York. Her vibrant and whimsical creations are filled with energetic ideas and sharp humour. 

The visual narratives she crafts often carry a certain edginess, softened by her clever wit and captivating style. A self-described "magpie with a pen," she utilises inks and a "giant Cintiq" to produce imagery rich in energy and texture. 

Cari's illustrations are meticulously focused on figures or objects, effectively telling their stories. She adopts a practical approach to her art, harnessing the unique strengths of modern mediums and programs such as Procreate. 

Her impressive portfolio includes collaborations with renowned organisations such as The New York Times, Chobani, Nike, Etsy, The New Yorker Magazine, and Google.
