Veronica Miller Jamison is a surface pattern designer and illustrator based outside Philadelphia. She spent nearly a decade in broadcast news before switching gears to embark on a career in illustration and fashion.

As a kid, Veronica was obsessed with fashion, dance, crafting, and drawing, and grew up immersed in the stories of her family’s history in the south and Caribbean. Those childhood passions now influence Veronica’s work as a professional artist - her favorite subjects center on creativity, family, community and history (which also gives her a chance to nerd out over historical dress!). Fashion influences her use of color and pattern, and she is particularly inspired by Black trailblazers and luminaries, a lineage she’s studied from childhood, through college, and into the present.

Veronica’s debut picture book, A Computer Called Katherine: How Katherine Johnson Helped Put America On The Moon, written by Suzanne Slade, (Little, Brown) received a Kirkus Starred review and a glowing NYT book review. Her second picture book, This Is A School, written by John Schu (Candlewick) received a starred Booklist review and Kirkus deemed it, “A soaring panegyric to elementary school as a communal place to learn and grow.” and “A full-hearted Valentine.”

Veronica is an alumna of Howard University (BA, Journalism) and Drexel University (MS, Fashion Design). Her clients include Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, Candlewick Press, Hallmark, Essence magazine, and Bloomingdale’s. She has taught fashion and illustration at Drexel and Made Institute, worked with community organizations like Mighty Writers and the Philadelphia Arts in Education Partnership, and is an Executive Board Member for ICON - The Illustration Conference.

Veronica lives outside Philadelphia with her husband, David, and a dapper grey cat named Winston. When not painting, she can be found binging podcasts about scandals or doing cartwheels in gymnastics class.
