About

I am a highly experienced illustrator seeking to expand my work sources. I am known for my versatility, an award-winning design aesthetic, and the ability to understand and execute complex assignments.

After studying fine art at the University of Kansas School of Art and University of California Berkeley, I worked in the San Francisco Bay Area, Silicon Valley, and in Washington, DC for many years as a designer and illustrator. I am a certified expert in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop (I work with them every day), and I work in a variety of illustration styles, both digital and hand-painted. I have illustrated over 40 published children’s books.
