I'm an award-winning illustrator/author with a background in theatrical costume design and a soft spot for all things sarcastic or creepy! After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point with a degree in costume design, I worked for many wonderful years at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, MN. I joined SCBWI in 2011 and began my transition to a career in the children's book industry. Throughout the years I've enjoyed working with books as a bookseller, children's library technician, and now as an illustrator/author. I'm interested in everything from picture books to illustrated nonfiction to YA covers, and everything in between! I currently live in California with my family. I'm represented by the lovely Sarah Stephens at Red Fox Literary (www.redfoxliterary.com)
