Character Designer & Licensing Artist
Graphic / Product Designer & Illustrator
Creator of all things whimsical, mysterious and illuminating!
ABOUT
As a child, I always loved creating art.
I remembered how happy I felt when I sold my hand-drawn bookmarks, for a quarter each, to my elementary school friends!
Who knew you could make a living doing something that you love?
​
Working in-house for many companies, I've gained experiences in product development and the manufacturing process in order to become a better designer. I've moved beyond drawing bookmarks to designing greeting cards, complete giftware lines, tableware collections, toy brands, baby items and tween accessories.
Developing my own signature look, I found that I really enjoyed creating whimsical, mysterious and illuminating characters and the world around them! After years of development, I'm looking forward to licensing my brands.

Please follow me on this exciting journey and check out my mother and child illustrations for author Amy Collin's new book, 'Infant Inspirations'.
