Kathryn Li (she/her) is a Chinese American graphic designer, illustrator, and writer. She holds a BFA in Illustration and a Concentration in Literary Arts & Studies from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).

She is a Designer at G. P. Putnam’s Sons & Nancy Paulsen Books (Penguin Young Readers) and an Artist/Designer at San José Strong. She has also worked with Chronicle Books and Barefoot Books.
