10+ years illustrating and designing picture books and early chapter books. Cute kids and fun animals are my favorite things to illustrate.
For over 20 years, I have worked as an award-winning designer and art director in advertising and marketing. The last 11 years I have specialized in picture books and early chapter book design and illustration. Using my strong background in design and illustration, I am able to completely design, illustrate, do book layout and production to prepare your picture book manuscript digital files for publication. I can work closely with your printer of choice to make sure you have the best printed or digital book possible.
It's easy to work with anyone anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. After carefully reading your book and discussing your vision with you, I will send you sketches of the main characters and page by page storyboards for you to approve. You will be involved in each step of the process.
