What I do
I illustrate children’s books—and guide authors through the entire process of turning their idea into a finished, published book.
Professional, custom illustration

Bring your story to life.
"If you’ve ever dreamed of creating a children’s book...
(but didn’t know where to start)
You’re not alone.
Most of the authors I work with come to me with an idea… and no clear path forward.
That’s where I come in."
Experience Matters
Who I work with
I partner with a small number of authors each year who:
Have a meaningful story or message
Want a professional, done-for-you experience
Value quality and creativity
Are ready to move forward for a fall or holiday book launch 2026
What this becomes
A real book.
Something you can hold. Share. Read. Sign.
Something with your name on it.
(see my most recent work at Barnes & Nobles below)
Timing - 2026 Publishing Cutoff dates for
Fall and Holiday Season Book Launches
If you’ve ever imagined having a book ready for:
The holiday season
School events or readings
A personal milestone
That process needs to start now. We have 3 author spots available until July 15th.
Funding
Most projects are completed with author funding between:
$200-350 per page
I only take on a limited number of new projects at a time.
If this is something you’ve been thinking about—even for years—
Now is the time to explore it.
