I was lucky enough to grow up moving around different countries. The rich cultures I experienced still influence and inspire my work. After studying graphic design and photography I found my true passion in illustrating and have been working as a freelancer since 2018. I work with illustrations for picture books, websites, and other publications. I also love to paint with watercolors and acrylics. I mainly use photoshop for my work, incorporating textures and patterns to give my illustrations an interesting and organic look. When I’m not working on a book you’ll find me experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, learning something new, or working on a home improvement project.PlayfulCartoon ArtPlayful ToneEditorial DesignGraphic DesignIllustrationChildren's Book IllustrationEditorial IllustrationWatercolorFreehand Digital Illustration - $35 hourly

I have worked as a professional graphic designer for the past 20+ years and absolutely love my craft! I've also been a music hobbyist for the past 15+ years and have recently began turning that into a blossoming career in film and T.V. music with recent placements on Nickelodeon, NBA T.V. and E! I have allocated time to both disciplines and adhere to the same strict work ethic in each medium. I have years of experience meeting deadlines and exceeding expectations. I am not a jack of all trades but I see no harm in becoming an expert in more than one. Each can sharpen and clarify the other. I love to help others reach their goals and communicate their visions.

I strive to create stories that tell images--and images that tell stories. I am both a writer and an artist, and narrative is central to my work! I believe the best stories show a character's transformation from one self into another. This process occurs when they confront something seemingly insurmountable and are forced--through courage or sheer misfortune--to face it head on. Through this encounter, they discover something unknown about themselves and their relationship to the greater world. So many projects, both published and unpublished, suffer from what I call "and then, and then, and then." The characters move through stages, one right after another, but nothing ever changes for them. There is no growth, no epiphany, no evolution. My greatest thrill is helping good writers become better writers by pointing out ways to disrupt their characters and shake their souls! MY CAREER: I am lucky to have created stories for some of the best ad agencies (Ogilvy & Mather, MSLGROUP), television networks (NatGeo, Discovery), and non-profits (March of Dimes, Asia Society) in the world. With the onset of the pandemic, I wanted more time to focus on my own work as a writer and illustrator, and I pulled away from full-time corporate work (I just finished my baby--my novel!). I love freelance projects because they allow me to work with lots of individual artists who are personally passionate about their projects--like me! I am a member of the Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, and I am an official judge for the Florida Authors and Publishers Association. I am also a member of several wonderful writing groups here in South Florida. MY EDUCATION: I hold an MA in cultural anthropology from Cornell University (2007). My work focused on the dualities of identity with a focus on South Asia. I conducted three years of extensive fieldwork and language training in Nepal. I hold a BA in anthropology and sociology from Carleton College (2002) where I studied abroad in Vietnam and Mali. My senior thesis was awarded the prestigious James S. Berglund Prize for Social Sciences. Cultural anthropology has remained a consistent thread throughout my life, and as a result my own creative work is heavily driven by questions of identity and the dialectic between sameness and difference. I care deeply about representation and will enjoy exploring these questions meaningfully and respectfully with you. AWARDS: Webby Award Honoree, for Homeland Afghanistan (2011); Grand Prize Winner, Bright Star Writing Contest (2009); Wenner-Gren Fieldwork Grant (2008); Summer Foreign Language Area Studies Fellowship (Summer 2007); Einaudi Travel Grant (2005; 2006); Foreign Language Area Studies Fellowship (2005; 2006); Sage Fellowship (2004); James S. Berglund Prize for Social Sciences (2002); Distinction in Anthropology (2002); Magna Cum Laude (2002); Freeman Fellowship (2001). MY STYLE: I am an artist striving to make it in the big, bad, creative world. This means that my name--my brand--is the most important thing I have. When I sign on to your project, I am not just trying to make YOU a better artist; I am also trying to make MYSELF a better artist. The quality of my work is the most important thing I can offer. I will work my hardest to make you shine and to make you very, very happy. WHAT I CAN OFFER: - story development - developmental editing - copyediting / line editing - copywriting - ghost writing - illustration - children's book illustration - storyboarding - research (categories: history, culture, literature, spirituality) Thank you for considering me for your project, and best of luck to you!PlayfulGhostwritingScriptwritingPlayful ToneScreenwritingProofreadingBook EditingPlot DevelopmentChildren's LiteratureChildren's WritingDevelopmental EditingBrandingCopywritingChildren's Book IllustrationIllustration - $35 hourly
