Odette Ross

Odette Ross graduated from Swinburne University in 1994 with an Honours Degree in Graphic Design before starting her first job as an Art Director in an advertising agency. She left advertising after she had her first child and started to develop her children’s picture book ideas.

Her design background influences her computer-illustrated graphic style and colour palette. And her character Bud the Bilby was created – she was inspired to write simple child-friendly stories about his adventures.
