Professional Story
This world is full of whimsy and wonder. I take it upon myself to be a seeker of magic, wonder, and stories in every corner I can reach. Entrepreneurship has been a part of my life from an early age. I share with you some milestones of my professional journey.

Researcher in Storytelling at Loughborough University UK.

Book Illustration
My journey as a book illustrator started in 2011. With about 26 books under my belt, illustrated for a wide range of projects and publishers around the world.

Surface Design
Illustration is and will continue to be an incredible source of creative satisfaction for me. I am always eager to bring whimsy to surfaces and products.

I enjoy academia so much and love being in the classroom, both online and in person. I have been teaching art since 2014 in many institutions across Southern California and the Web.

The joy of being in a creative and productive environment encourages
me to put my skills and experience into helping creatives and clients.

Art Consultations
