I'm Kika MacFarlane, an artist and designer based in Idaho.
My work is centered around play and the outdoors. I create illustrations, original pieces, and murals.
I also run Playday Studio, designing graphics & animated videos for clients like Patagonia, The Nature Conservancy, Wild Rye, Sun Valley, and more.
