Hey there! I'm Jenn, an illustrator, character creator, and lover of all things witty, weird, quirky, kooky, or historically accurate. Puns or potty humor! Even better. Like a Renaissance fair run by Monty Python.
My whimsical retro style draws inspiration from midcentury picture books and vintage animation. With a background in journalism, advertising, and interior design, I use a layered approach, mixing cheeky charm with well-researched worldbuilding.
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.
I have a BFA in Interior Design from Winthrop University, and I'm a member of SCBWI and The Illustration Department.
My hobbies include knitting, Netflix, reading, coffee, solving Murdles, shoveling poo, and rescuing 8-foot rat snakes from the chicken's coop.
My superpower is riding an 1,800-pound horse on the buckle.
