🎨 Lucas Bennett – Founder & CEO of ColoringCute
I'm Lucas Bennett, CEO and founder of ColoringCute. I lead the overall vision and strategy for our platform, working closely with illustrators and developers to ensure every coloring page meets our quality standards.
ColoringCute started when my twin girls were 5, frustrated with boring coloring apps on my tablet. After 8 years at Adobe, I knew we could do better. The breakthrough came during a camping trip when Emma asked why she couldn't color her favorite storybook characters digitally.
Growing up in San Francisco meant being surrounded by street art and creativity everywhere. My childhood was spent sketching in margins of textbooks and turning napkin doodles into elaborate stories. That creative spark carried me through years at Adobe and eventually into building ColoringCute.
