About

I am a professional children’s illustrator with extensive experience in creative direction, art direction, and illustration for children’s books and media. Over the past decade, I have worked with major companies like Warner Bros., DC Comics, and various publishing houses, growing my expertise in branding, storytelling, and media development. I also bring a deep passion for education, having served as a homeschool teacher, and enjoy collaborating on creative projects that connect with young audiences.

My creative journey began with a strong foundation in art and editorial work, which evolved into various leadership roles overseeing creative services and product development. I am currently focused on authoring and illustrating picture books while continuing freelance creative direction and illustration work. I love blending artistic expression with storytelling to create engaging content for children and families.
