Beyond screens
I’ve always loved making things, whether it’s a painting inspired by a photo I’ve taken, a portrait of a much-loved pet, or a custom piece created as a gift for someone special. I love playing with color, creating bold compositions, and turning ideas, memories, and little moments into something people can hold on to.
Ellie’s Eden
A custom botanical illustration created for a plant company’s seasonal product line. Starting with the client’s initial sketch, I developed a black-and-white outline before creating the final watercolor illustration for use on their plant tags.

Lexi Monarch
Working from the author’s specific visual references, I brought together the character’s clothing, hairstyle, monarch wings, and woodland setting into a cohesive original illustration. I also created a custom portrait of the chosen model, carefully scaled to match the character, so her expression could be incorporated into the final artwork.

Delia White
For the third book in the series, I developed a new character illustration around the author’s chosen outfit, pose, hairstyle, butterfly wings, and woodland references. I brought these elements together into a cohesive colored-pencil composition and created a custom portrait study to preserve the specific facial expression requested for the character.

What Is My Name?
The author approached me with an initial sketch and a vision for a black-and-white book cover. Through an iterative process, we refined the characters’ clothing, ages, and expressions until the scene felt right. I then created the final graphite illustration and incorporated the text into the book-cover design.
