About the author

I’m an illustrator, designer, and artist. I’m from the state of Massachusetts, but I now live in the southern Okanagan Valley in British Columbia.

I love graphic shapes, textured colour, creating an atmosphere, and telling a story with pictures. As a designer, I love finding order and structure in information and making it attractive, clear, and beautiful with images, colors, and typography.

I’m lucky to work with great publishers like Page Street Kids, Orca Book Publishers, Kids Can Press, Sasquatch Books, Owlkids Books, and Candlewick.
