I’m a children’s picture book illustrator and author with experience illustrating independently published books, educational titles, and narrative projects for young readers.

I know how much care goes into a story, AND how important it is to work with an illustrator who respects the heart of the book while guiding it visually from beginning to end.…I’m a children’s picture book illustrator and author with experience illustrating independently published books, educational titles, and narrative projects for young readers.
