As a children's book illustrator with a background in animation, my work is deeply rooted in storytelling and the joyful exploration of childhood. Each illustration I create is an invitation for young readers to dive into vibrant worlds where characters come to life and adventures await around every corner.

My experience in animation has instilled in me a sense of movement and expression that flows through my illustrations. I strive to capture the essence of playfulness and curiosity, using bright colors and whimsical details that resonate with children and adults alike. I believe that illustrations should not only complement a story but also spark the viewer’s creativity and emotions, encouraging them to see the magic within the mundane.

I specialize in creating custom illustrations that bring unique stories to life, whether it’s a single vibrant image, a complete book dummy, or full book illustrations. My goal is to collaborate with authors to visualize their tales in a way that enchants readers and ignites their love for literature.

I am an active member of the Society of Children’s Books Authors and Illustrators (SCBWI).  I regularly attend local meetings and also the national conventions.  I find getting together with other writers and illustrators is always an energizing experience and I leave full of new ideas.  

In addition to book illustrations, I create fun and delightful stickers, cards, and prints, allowing fans of my work to take a piece of imagination home with them. Each of my creations is a testament to the power of storytelling and the joy that can be found in every page and character.

Through my illustrations, I aim to inspire children to dream, to ask questions, and to see the world as a canvas full of possibilities. It is my hope that every child who encounters my work carries with them a little piece of that wonder long after they’ve turned the last page.
