I am an author and illustrator who loves making beautiful books.
I grew up in Rhode Island, but now live in Texas with a wonderful husband and three inspiring kids. I love making books that add a little extra beauty to the world, and I hope that they will help inspire future writers and illustrators.

A few fun facts: ​

-
I studied Industrial Design in college, and worked for ten years at an interaction design firm that made interactive experiences for Otis Elevator, Google, Samsung, museums, & more!
-
My "comfort food" books are Agatha Christie novels
