I'm a children's illustrator based in Cincinnati, OH, USA. My passion for illustration sparked after becoming a mom when I created Animal Action Cards for my daughter. Seeing its success after self-publishing, I embraced a career in illustration while balancing full-time parenting. I have since published multiple children's games and am exploring new publishing projects.
I work digitally, bringing my illustrations to life with bright colors and humor. My work has been recognized by SCBWI and featured in the PBParty 2025 Illustration Showcase. Having lived in New York City before moving to Cincinnati, I often draw inspiration from cityscapes, nature, and my two kids (ages 4 and 9). I also enjoy meditation, yoga, and hiking. My favorite children's book is The Wizard of Oz.
