About

I am an illustrator, art director, and graphic designer with more than 20 years of experience bringing stories, ideas, and visual identities to life. My work spans children’s books, educational guides, annual reports, newspapers, marketing materials, posters, textbooks, and adult nonfiction. I work comfortably across digital and traditional media and enjoy developing imagery that supports both the project’s message and its audience.

I am a collaborative and thoughtful creative partner who enjoys working with editors, artists, publishers, and clients from early concepts and thumbnail sketches through final production. I have a particular interest in multicultural publishing and projects that highlight underrepresented communities, and I bring strong skills in visual narrative, composition, color, typography, and design direction to every assignment.
