Dotti Colvin is the illustrator of several humorous books for children and young adults, including the Nita’s Adventure Series, Lance and The Boiled Egg, the award-winning books Baby Worries and Nate’s noisy Nose.

Before becoming an illustrator, Dotti spent 15 years in the London animation industry, creating award winning commercials, shorts and music videos for clients including the BBC, Cartoon Network and Grand Central records as well as mentoring and teaching at the Royal College of Art London, Escape Studios and many other universities.

Fluent in English and Italian, Dotti moved to Italy in 2013 with her husband to raise little humans while continuing to work remotely. In 2021, she joyfully shifted from animation to illustration, combining her love for comedy and character into her work.

Dotti now lives near an Italian lake with Wifi, her husband and two bilingual sons. When she’s not illustrating she enjoys a cheeky Prosecco, reading about science and tech, fixing and up-cycling stuff, and trying to be cool while paddle-boarding with her boys.

If you’d like to work with her, then she’d love to hear from you. Please drop her an email or book in a 15 minute chat!
