CREATIVE STATEMENT
I am an illustrator, designer, and creative director with a love for all things fairytale and fantasy. I specialize in the magical and mystical but have a soft-spot for making any object “cute”. I love to mix elements of youthful whimsy with the occasional dark twist. Any chance to bring magic to the everyday, count me in. I have a child’s spirit at heart and you can always find me looking through the kids’ books at any boutique, book store, or on any vacation. My favorite source for inspiration is picking up kids’ books from different countries on my travels and understanding the unique stories on imagery alone.
