It’s my passion to illustrate picture books and develop stories for kids!

I enjoy using mediums that use a hands-on approach such as watercolor, ink and tissue paper collage. Then, assembling them using digital skills learned as an animator.

I enjoy the revision process and collaborating on projects. I look forward to the two writing groups I participate in monthly along with the great one-on-one and mentored critique groups offered through Storyteller Academy.

I reside with my husband and two young gremlins 🙂 in Los Angeles, CA.
