I earned my honors BFA in Graphic and interactive design and Illustration from Tyler School of Art (from Temple University) in Philadelphia, PA, where I also had the pleasure to teach. I have also taken additional illustration classes, gravitating toward paint as my main medium, as I really enjoyed painting with my kids when they were small.
 

Because I come from a creative family, it wasn't that much of a stretch for me to start creating work for local art shows, little shops, and an online store, eventually landing work in a gallery space in upstate NY. It was a thrill to find my work published in books for They Draw and Cook and They Draw and Travel, as well as to be collected in people’s homes and in places like The Poster House Museum, The U.S. National Library of Medicine, and The Herskovit's Library of African Studies at Northwestern University.
 

As a professional designer and illustrator, I have created illustrations and graphic design for custom packaging, products, marketing materials, interactive advertising, point of purchase displays, and tradeshow booths, as well as designing on a team for user experiences. My design and illustration work has been in places like William Sonoma, Publix, Target, Walmart, Disney Theme Parks, Costco, 7-Eleven, TJ Maxx, and Barnes & Noble Cafes.
 

I welcome art commissions and freelance graphic design and my art is also available for licensing. Please feel free to email me to discuss or just to say hello!
