Hello!
Illustrator, adventurer, cute enthusiast and mom... that's me! Here you'll find all my creative projects and travels collected for easy browsing.
My background is in commercial illustration and graphic design, and I earned a BA in Illustration and Design from the Art Institute of Atlanta. My illustration style is inspired by my interest in children’s literature, animation, vintage design and all things whimsical and cute. When I'm not drawing, I enjoy adventures with my husband, Chris, and chasing my daughters, Autumn and April, and chihuahua, Pixie, around the house.
