                    Picture
                    I’m a children’s illustrator, writer, and graphic designer. Designing books and websites grew naturally from developing these passions.
                     
                    Being a teensy bit OCD, I’m detail-oriented. Whether painting a book cover illustration, customizing a template site for a fellow illustrator, or adding Paypal and event 
                     
                    marketing capability to a non-profit's website, I like
                    things to work well for all involved — from initial planning, through a smooth production process, and final,
                    satisfying result.
                        I'm a firm believer in the golden rule and know the
                    best client is one who wants to work together again
                    (and tells a friend).

                    __"Siri, I’m so impressed with your ability to see my vision and turn it into art. Jake is even more handsome than I imagined him, and you can see his brain working behind those skeptical eyes. You’ve brought my words to life! I'm incredibly excited about your vision, and have really enjoyed the process as well as the product."
