Hello, my name is Taylor Leinstock, and I am a senior at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, graduating in May 2026.
​
I’m pursuing a career as a professional children’s illustrator with interests in picture book design, advertising, surface design, and visual development for children’s animation. I’m passionate about storytelling and creating fun, whimsical, and beautifully crafted artwork that appeals to all ages.
​
I’ve completed freelance collaborations with clients including QUAD and the Milwaukee Florentine Opera. Outside of the studio, I enjoy watching movies, visiting the beach, and exploring new foods.
