Overview
Hello, I'm a freelance illustrator, I've been working for the last past 20 years with children's books, cover books, posters, illustrations, and portraits. I have a degree in Fine arts with a major in illustrations from the Academy of Art in San Francisco. I currently live in New Zealand.
I'm used to working with self publishing authors so I have experience in layout design and also the prepress process.
I have over 30 published books. I'm dedicated, with a keen eye for detail, and great communicator
My work involves:
Characters' Design
Storyboarding
Full color illustrations
Pages Layout Design
Print-ready files
I'm flexible and open to receive the manuscript with or without suggestions about the illustrations.
I create the artwork from a scratch and also the pages layouts and I can handle the whole process until the final step which is the print-ready files to submit to the printer/publisher.
I'm easy to work with and I'm proud to say that many of my clients became good friends.
I'm always excited to read new stories and meet new people.
