I create illustrations for smart cookies, budding brains, and their big people—visuals that make learning feel fun, clear, and possible. Because when children understand, they thrive. <3

MY EXPERIENCE:
I spent my high school and college years working in early childhood education as well as running afterschool and summer programs. I studied Fine Arts at Endicott College, graduating with a BFA and internship experience in the fields of interior design, professional theater, and both elementary and high school art classrooms. I've worked professionally in each of the fields I interned in, as well as working as an in-house artist for gift products, and learning to brew a mean cup of coffee.
Interior design is about developing beauty of the space as a whole. Theater is about making artwork that uses drama and exaggeration so the viewer could easily understand the story. Being an artist at a gift product company taught me about preparing files so users could get right to work. And the art classroom reminds me that kids need the support of the arts in all aspects of their world, especially in their education.
Each of my career paths have helped me to develop images that are not only fun and engaging for kids, but also help educators by supporting their messages. Creating clip art combines my love of illustration and working with kids. I make clip art for smart cookies, budding brains, and their big people.
