Hi, I'm Laurie!
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here!
I'm Laurie Russell, the illustrator and designer behind Pawsitively Creative. Based in the Pacific Northwest, I've spent over 15 years as a professional Graphic Designer, collaborating with diverse clients across various industries.
But here's the real story: for me, creativity isn't just a job - it's personal. I founded Pawsitively Creative to blend my passion for art with a mission to inspire joy and make a meaningful impact in my community.
I believe everyone has a spark of creativity waiting to be unleashed! Whether you're a seasoned artist, just starting out, or maybe you just need more positivity in your life - my goal is to nurture your creative journey and help our furry friends at the same time.

Fun Facts!


I'm born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and I still live here and love it! Although...I'm nearly always cold, so I adore the 2 months of "real" summer we get here in Western Washington.
I'm SUPER organized and I love finding/trying new hacks for our house. My husband is very understanding!
...thats actually where I met my husband!


I took dancing and singing lessons from a young age, and I've also done a lot of community theatre...
