Neely Daggett

Neely is a children’s book illustrator based in Portland, Oregon, who loves to dream up adorable characters with heart — especially kids! In January of 2022, Neely celebrated the release of her debut picture book, The White House Cat, written by Cylin Busby and published by Balzer + Bray. Since then, she has published six more and loves that each project teaches her something new. When she’s not drawing, you can find Neely cheering on her kids at their sporting events, playing recreational soccer with her husband, and exploring new restaurants around town.
