Libby VanderPloeg makes empowering illustrations of women, without being preachy about it. A wonder woman herself, VanderPloeg had dreamed of becoming a comedian, an actress, a fashion designer, a magazine editor, an author, and an artist and illustrator. \n\n\n\n

\u201cI sometimes wish that I had figured out that I could be a professional illustrator a little sooner instead of stepping around the edges for so long, career-wise,\u201d she told The House That Lars Built. \u201cBut I\u2019m really thankful for all of the design and professional skills I developed in my career leading up to running my illustration studio.\u201d\n\n\n\n

Cookie goals achieved! \ud83c\udf6a\ud83d\udc99\ud83c\udf86 So fun to spend some time this afternoon at @levainbakery UES! There were some nervous looks as I hopped up on a stool to sign our mural (beautifully rendered on brick by @alloyedartsmattmeyer) until @rachpr18 assured the customers that I was the artist and not just a customer doodling on top of the artwork \ud83d\ude02 Love you, Levain crew! Can't wait to see you again\ud83d\ude18\ud83d\udc99 #levainbakery #libbyvanderploeg #allthecookies #levainuppereastside
