I’m an illustrator and cartoonist living along the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. I create custom cartoons and illustrations using bright colors, whimsical tones, and the occasional pun.— lets make some cartoons together!
My digital illustration process means I can give a unique and customized look to your project and make necessary changes on the fly. I keep my lines, colors, and details all separate so if you need a tree to move, a house to flip, or a character to fly - I got you!
My graphic design background means I can add text to the cartoon for a logo, add a name to the image for a gift, or create a cute infographic for your training class. As long as you need a cartoon style piece - you’re in good hands!
My publishing experience means I can help break your complex content down into more digestible nuggets, and get you all set up for print and online publishing. Whether you’re going through KDP, Apple books, Nook Press, or you have NO idea what kind of self-publishing you need - I can help!
My formatting ninja skills gives me the ability to jump in when you have the art done and you just need text added so you can get your beautiful book out to the world. I can get the text and images lined up from cover to cover, have everything ready for print, and be out of there without anyone knowing a thing. I can even get it to the printer for you if you prefer - I’m your secret weapon!
Before finding my way into the art world, I’ve worked in various roles in customer service - more than 20 years to be exact - so I know what top notch customer service looks like. Connect with me on LinkedIn if you want more career information.
I also believe that work shouldn’t take up the entire day and that everyone should unplug, so in my spare time, you can find me: playing video games and cards with my family, trying out new recipes for my guys to taste test, and sipping tea while listening to a Broadway musical. I just love musical theatre. My all time favorite has to be Wizard of Oz. What about you??
