I am a Children's Book Illustrator located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I have been writing stories and illustrating since I was a child. I wrote my first book when I was around  7 years old called "Pretty Party Ball" and my mother had to sew it together because it was too thick to staple. Since then I haven't stopped drawing and have made several books for myself and for others and have learned how much work goes into making each one. I love to create colorful magical worlds that take me back my own childhood. My next goal is to take everything I have learned and write and illustrate a book to be published. 

  I have a BA in Global Studies from the University of Chapel Hill and love to learn new languages and eat food from all over the world. I love to learn and am currently learning Turkish, embroidery and how to make 3-D paper art.
