Hi, I’m Jennifer — a multidisciplinary artist/illustrator, published children’s book author, and creative educator with over a decade of experience in visual storytelling and creative production.
I specialize in whimsical, character-driven illustration, particularly for children’s books and educational storytelling. I’ve illustrated and published multiple children’s titles, including Simon the Zippy Sloth (2024) and The Bread Devil’s Guide to Gluten Free (2025), managing everything from concept development and character design to final print-ready layouts and promotion.
In addition to my illustration work, I’m an experienced educator who leads creative workshops and art classes for both children and adults, designing beginner-friendly experiences that build confidence and encourage authentic creative expression.
Beyond illustration and teaching, I bring extensive professional experience in photography direction, digital asset management, and creative workflow systems. I’ve led creative departments, negotiated production projects with high-profile clients, and built structured processes that keep projects on schedule and stress-free.
Whether you’re an author looking to bring your story to life, a brand in need of engaging visual content, or a creative entrepreneur seeking organized project support, I combine artistic vision with professional reliability to help your ideas move from concept to completion.
Let’s create something meaningful together.

“Simon is a young sloth that has trouble slowing down. He is not like his family or other sloths. At times, Simon faces challenges at home and at school. Kindergarten is especially hard. But he has a strong support system: a loving family, an empathetic friend and kind teachers. By the time Simon gets to second grade, things are looking up.”
