Hello, and welcome to my world on the web.

I am an illustrator and designer based in a humble suburb of Chicago. I have worked in the greeting card and gift packaging markets as an inhouse designer for the last 8+ years. In the last few years I’ve also enjoyed freelance work in retail food packaging.

An ever present passion for illustration lead me to start a blog where I’ve been developing my children’s illustration style,and having fun telling stories with pictures.

I’ve always enjoyed exploring all creative avenues, and as a constant observer I believe that inspiration is all around us. My little camera goes everywhere with me, and I can often be found taking photos of flowers and landscapes, or the latest package design that caught my eye in the grocery aisle.

My clients include:
Kroger , Target, Walmart, Ritz Camera, Tropical Foods, Inc. and Collector’s Gallery
