I am an illustrator, designer, and marketing specialist based in Colorado. As an illustrator, creative expression has always been a necessity for me - to turn abstract feelings into something tangible and always in effort to find magic in the human experience. I love illustration specifically for the intersection between story and visual art, where an image tells a story with or without words. Additionally, I have a background in Social Media Management, Project Management, and Marketing. I elevate my client's social platforms with beautiful, engaging content creation so that your social media platforms become an authentic and effective representation of you and your brand. I studied at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design and received my BFA in illustration with a specialization in Children’s Books. I’m excited to announce my first published children’s book to be released summer of 2025! Website & Portfolio: _Website not available.
