About



I'm an illustrator of children's books and editorials, including Sometimes It Rains by Paul Du Fresne. I recently became a contributing illustrator for A List Apart.

I have the privilege of telling stories through pictures. It's not just a way to make a living; it's a life goal. I'm extremely grateful for the clients who have entrusted me with the direction of their products, and the editors who have allowed me to share my work with readers. When conceptualizing an illustration, I believe that it should be just as exciting to the person who commissioned it as it is to its eventual audience.
