Molly Zakrajsek attended Bowling Green State University, earning a BFA in graphic design. She began her career working for Charles Anderson Design Company where she managed and illustrated countless American advertising icons from her favorite eras, the 1920s-1960s. The result of her effort was a book called The CSA Archive which led to the development of her graphic illustration style. She then returned to her home in Cleveland, Ohio to form two design companies, one specializing in event design and promotional graphics and the other a T shirt design company. While in Cleveland, she helped to found Northern Ohio Illustrators Society. After a few years of being on her own, she decided to collaborate with Siebert Design Associates (Olika) in Cincinnati as a full time designer and illustrator.

Currently, she operates an illustration studio in the Guildhaus Building in downtown Cincinnati. Her work is featured in the "Fresh" section of the Jan/Feb 2002 issue of Communication Arts. Some of her clients include Target, E-Entertainment, Totes Isotoner, How Magazine, and Utopia Papers. Last year she illustrated her first children's book, The Phenomenal Foam Flyer Book published by Innovative Kids and she continues seeking projects that inspire kids to learn.

She works traditionally by hand to bring her quirky icons to life and then electronically to give them a colorful place to exist. She loves art in all forms, travelling and laughing as often as possible.
