I DRAW FUNNY.
Hey there! I'm an illustrator who loves witty, weird non-fiction and biographical fiction about almost everything. Carrion flowers, anthropomorphic animals, neurotic kids, pet rocks, landmine-sniffing rats with backpacks, you name it. Puns or potty humor! Even better.
My whimsical retro style takes a leaf out of midcentury picture books and vintage animation. With a background in journalism, advertising, and interior design, I'm a research nerd who loves diving into different subjects to make my creations pop.
I've done picture books, chapter books, and book covers with the wonderful folks at Bloomsbury, Clarion/HMH, Cantata Learning, and a few spots for Highlights Magazine.
By day, I’m knee-deep in the private wealth management world (it's a long story) and I have a BFA in Interior Design from Winthrop University.
For kicks, I ride a 1,800-pound horse, herd goats, and wrangle chickens. Yep, you read that right!
