It’s nice to meet you!
I’m an animation artist, illustrator + kid’s book writer. Since 2006 I’ve worked on all things weird + wonderful for kids from books to apps to tv shows.
I designed on the Nick Jr. shows The Wonder Pets and Team Umizoomi and the kid’s apps, Tiggly and Toca TV. I’ve written and illustrated two chapter book series, Olive & Beatrix (Scholastic) and Paige Proves It (Simon & Schuster). Most recently I worked as Senior Artist on the Noggin / Nickelodeon content team developing and designing original content and series for kids.
After 20+ years as a New Yorker, I am currently working remotely in Las Vegas where I can be found hiking, reading fantasy books, and inventing cookies in my kitchen.
