Meet the Little Colorables Team
We are a small team of parents, artists, and one very demanding six-year-old.
At Little Colorables, we don’t believe in faceless content. Every page on this site starts with a real human being sketching, refining, and testing. We are obsessed with lines, paper quality, and finding the exact right shade of “Pikachu Yellow.”
Here are the humans behind the pages:
Caitlin Hayes — Founder & Head Writer
As a former elementary school teacher and a mom to three very different kids, I was constantly frustrated by the printables I found online. They were either blurry, covered in annoying watermarks, or had lines so impossibly thin that my kids would give up in frustration after five minutes.
I realized parents needed a reliable, high-quality resource. I started Little Colorables not just as a website, but as a sanity-saver for families like mine. I treat our coloring collections like lesson plans, ensuring they are actually useful, frustration-free, and age-appropriate.
Everything we design here is inspired by the chaos and creativity of my own three kids, who represent the exact ages we create pages for:
- Leo (7) — The Detail Detective: My oldest loves video games, anime, and staying perfectly inside the lines. He is the reason we have an entire library of complex, challenging pages for older kids who want to focus.
- Sam (5) — The Speed Artist: Sam is all about dinosaurs, trucks, and coloring as fast as humanly possible. He is the inspiration behind our bold, thick-lined designs that are impossible to mess up with a chubby crayon.
- Lily (3) — The Scribble Boss: My youngest is just discovering the joy of markers. Her toddler-level demands are why we include simple, giant shapes in our collections, perfect for practicing grip and coordination.
Between my teaching background and navigating the daily artistic demands of my own kids, I know exactly what makes a printable “fridge-worthy.” I handle the research, the site strategy, and ensuring every single collection meets our strict Studio Rules before we hand them off to Sage and our testing crew for final inspection.
Stella Isaac — Chief Illustrator
Stella joins us from the rolling hills of Devon, UK. With a background in greeting card design and map illustration (you might have seen her work on Moonpig!), she brings a uniquely whimsical, hand-painted feel to our library.
Kelly Grace — Illustrator
Kelly is our resident storyteller. An accomplished Canadian artist known for her cinematic, retro-inspired gallery paintings, she brings a sophisticated narrative style to our collection. Kelly is the genius behind our more detailed, “scene-based” pages that feel like little movies waiting to be colored.
Alena Gomez — Illustrator
Alena is the visual heartbeat of Little Colorables. As our illustrator, she oversees the artistic direction of our cartoon library, ensuring that every character looks friendly and every line is thick enough for a chubby crayon.
Zucc — Illustrator
Zucc is the psychedelic pulse behind our grown-up pages. As our resident illustrator for adults, he crafts intricate worlds of swirling patterns, cosmic mushrooms, radiant crystals, and dreamy mandalas that practically hum with good vibes.
Sage — Quality Control Officer
We have a strict rule at Little Colorables: No page makes it onto the website without Sage’s stamp of approval. Every week, she sits down with her toolkit – a box of 64 crayons and very strong opinions, to test-drive our new designs.
THE STUDIO RULES
We have a few non-negotiable rules here at Little Colorables:
- No Thin Lines: If a standard Crayola crayon can’t stay inside the lines, the drawing is too complicated. We fix it.
- Printer Friendly: We design with your ink cartridge in mind. No unnecessary black backgrounds that drain your cyan.
- The “Fridge Test”: Every page must be good enough to be proudly displayed on the refrigerator door.
Happy Coloring!
