In sunny (and very hot) central Florida!

Yes! I’m usually pretty open to commissions and custom design work. Just shoot me a message with your idea and we can chat about it.

I’m actually self taught! I only took one proper art class in middle school and the rest has been all me. I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember and honestly, it’s basically all I did growing up. I was that kid always doodling, making things, and figuring it out as I went!

i’ve always been drawn to the work of Mary Blair, Disney, and the mid-century modern era, so that influence naturally worked its way into my art. I spent a lot of time exploring different styles but I eventually landed on what felt most familiar and most me!

If you’re trying to find your own style, my biggest advice is to give yourself permission to experiment!! Pay attention to what you’re consistently drawn to and the things you keep coming back to without trying. Your style usually shows up when you stop forcing it and start leaning into what you genuinely love!!

I mostly work digitally using my iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil in Procreate, and sometimes Photoshop. I love creating my own Procreate brushes to help replicate that painterly and whimsical feel of the Mary Blair era and vintage Little Golden Books!

I did! I was always really interested in art as a kid and spent most of my time drawing or painting or making things. It was just something that always felt second nature to me. I don’t think I ever seriously considered not being creative in some way. Even back then, art felt like the thing I kept coming back to no matter what.

Start with a strong portfolio that clearly shows your style and what kind of work you want to be licensed. From there, research art licensing agencies and see if they’re accepting submissions, then send your work in. You might not get signed on the first try (or even the fifth), and that’s totally normal. I emailed and submitted to around 12 agencies before getting in, so persistence really matters. Keep refining your work, keep submitting, and don’t take rejections personally!
