About

I create colorful, detailed illustrations that match the tone of authors’ stories and help engage young readers. I collaborate with writers and apply thoughtful color theory, strong character design, and production-ready layouts to deliver artwork that feels cohesive and professionally finished.

Using tools like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, I develop original visuals from direction and imagination, incorporate feedback through revisions, and meet deadlines without sacrificing quality. My focus is storytelling through visuals—bringing characters and scenes to life in a vibrant, age-appropriate way.

Patrick discovers Music

I produced realistic illustrations to enhance the narrative about Patrick, the protagonist, who loves math, and will find a mathematical solution in everyday situations. When school lets out for the year, he will go visit his Uncle John who loves music, and he is reluctant because he doesn't realize the role math plays in music. However he is pleasantly surprised to discover that math does, in fact, play a role when he learns to play the guitar. In addition to producing the illustrations, I also integrated the visuals and text into a print ready layout and assisted the client with publishing on KDP.

“Eeyore the Happy Blue Frenchie Visits Nonna” follows Eeyore, a lovable French Bulldog who enjoys exploring Toronto, indulging in cups of whipped cream from his favorite bakery, and, most of all, visiting Nonna in the countryside.

I created 16 double-page spreads in this book are illustrated in a cohesive cartoon style, maintaining consistent character designs throughout the story using Adobe Illustrator. I then used Adobe InDesign to design and format the book into a polished, print-ready layout.

The finished illustrations helped bring Eeyore’s personality and adventures to life, contributing to the book’s reader appeal and positive reception on Amazon. This project highlights my ability to combine engaging character illustration with professional book layout and production.
