Karin Cyrén is an illustrator and writer who grew up in Stockholm where she still resides today. She graduated from Konstfack, the University of Arts, Crafts and Design, in 2011 and has been working as a professional artist ever since. Her Bachelors of Arts project at Konstfack was reworked and later published, which earned her the Snowball (Snöbollen) for best Swedish picture book and the originals were exhibited at Bildmuséet in Umeå.
