Hello!

If you're looking for an approachable and passionate designer and illustrator to help you bring your ideas to life, then I'd love to help you with that.

With many years of experience illustrating entire books for children and adults, it's safe to say I know a thing or two about creating something wonderful. Understanding the process and what works in today's market is very important for producing not only a product to be proud of but also something successful.

Being passionate about what I do will also spill over to you. I love to chat about the process, keeping you informed every step of the way and making you feel like you are designing and illustrating the book right there with me. Clear communication and deadlines are essential throughout to ensure we can keep the project rolling.

I am fluent in illustrating in many styles, book design, cover design, graphic design, typography, and even preparing files for final print.

I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have at any point, whether that's through messages or even on a video call.

Let's bring your idea to life while making the journey an exciting one!
