She became a programmer in Wall Street for 15 years but she never forgot her love of drawing for kids & kids at heart. She is interested in illustrating picture books & book covers. It’s her dream to write & illustrate stories where family relationships, culture, & food are intertwined. Lynnor is a member of SCBWI, CBIG, & PuddleJump Collective.
