Children’s Picture Book Illustrator for Authors and Publishers

I believe every children’s book has a heartbeat, and my job is to make sure you can feel it on every page. I’m a children’s book illustrator and author, and I love what I do deeply enough that I’ve done it for myself. My own picture book, The Mermaid and the Grumpy Old Clam, taught me that a great story deserves illustrations that don’t just decorate it, they carry it.

That’s what I bring to every project. Expressive characters with real emotion. Color that sets the mood before a single word is read. Visual storytelling that makes a child lean in. Whether you’re a first-time author finding your way or a publisher with a deadline, I’ll be a steady, collaborative partner who genuinely cares about the heart of your book — because I know firsthand how much of yourself goes into writing one. Your story deserves to come alive. I’d love to be part of that.

If you’re an author or publisher looking for an illustrator who understands picture books, values collaboration, and cares deeply about storytelling, let’s work together.
