Captain of my ship, short story
Whimsical illustrations with handmade flair
Children’s books illustration
I have been honing my traditional art skills since 2017 – my specialty is developing whimsical universes that depict your children’s book stories in the most vivid light.
With the use of watercolors and pencils, as well as other traditional media techniques, I can ensure a unique and handmade feel to the book that will make an impact on readers young and old.
story-worthy characters
Creating colorful and bright characters is not just for books, I can create the perfect illustrations to accompany any printed or digital publication – including packaging, editorial, educational posters, products and more!
