Over the years, I have worked on a wide variety of projects for authors, publishers, and independent creators, helping them transform their ideas into beautifully illustrated books. I can adapt to different illustration styles depending on the vision of the project, including watercolor, hand-drawn, cartoon, whimsical, storybook, flat vector, fantasy, 2D, 3D, modern digital painting, African American children’s illustrations, animal illustrations, cute character design, and many more.
