Hi! I'm an author-illustrator known for my vibrant, quirky characters drawn with heart and humor. I recently received Honorable Mention in the Tassy Walden Awards for New Voices in Children's Literature, and was one of the winners of the Kitlit411 Banner award. In addition to my artwork, I have a picture book dummy that is available upon request. After years of working in graphic design, I'm skilled in publication layout and the importance of successful collaboration with art directors, authors, and editors. I live in Norwalk, CT with a feisty Pothos plant that is trying to take over my house, and a pair of enterprising crows who have befriended me solely for the free peanuts.
