About me
Every story deserves more than beautiful illustrations. It deserves visuals that make children want to turn the page and ask for “one more read.” 📚 From Idea to Finished Book I can help with children’s book illustrations, storybook artwork, book covers, KDP projects, educational illustrations, and graphic design.

Jun 2025 - Present • 1 yr 4 mos

Illustrated a full 32-page children's picture book targeted at early readers (ages 3–8), centered on Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and themes of self-worth. Utilized traditional line-and-wash watercolor techniques, combining delicate ink linework with soft pastel palettes and wet-on-dry blending to create a comforting, whimsical aesthetic. Handled end-to-end visual narrative pacing, expressive character design, and cover art composition, incorporating organic botanical borders and glowing wash effects designed specifically for the early childhood publishing market.
