Hello!I am an Illustrator and Designer located in the Chicago-land area living with my husband and two children. My passion for illustration goes all the way back to my childhood years when I filled countless notebooks with doodles and made up comics. My family and my educators were always supportive and encouraged me to reach my dream of becoming an Illustrator.I graduated from Northern Illinois University in 2011 with a BFA in Illustration. Through my studies I have found that I really enjoy creating narrative illustrations that tell a story using bold color palettes to create the mood and setting. My work is primarily created in digital media, however I like to experiment with different ways to incorporate traditional aspects and textures into my work to give it a more tangible feel. I have done work for a variety of clients with projects ranging from illustrating children’s books, board games, surface patterns, beverage labels, event posters, and logos for small businesses. When I’m not drawing, I enjoy making crafty projects, hiking in the woods, and relaxing with a tasty craft beer.
