I create original illustration for children’s books, apparel and merchandise, print and stationery, and editorial and educational content. I translate briefs and complex subject matter into clear, engaging, on-brand imagery.

As a freelance illustrator, I develop character designs and cohesive visual worlds for publisher and author briefs, as well as repeat surface patterns, standalone graphics, greeting cards, and calendar artwork. I manage projects end-to-end, from concept sketches and revisions through final print- or web-ready files.

For a professional cosmetology training course, I created a complete set of instructional visuals that made clinical procedures and concepts clear for a specialist medical audience. I’m also expanding into board game illustration and design and enjoy remote collaboration across time zones.
