About

I’m originally from New York City but now live in Atlanta. I received my BFA from the School of Visual Arts and began my career working for various editorial clients. I have illustrated over thirty children's books, including Hidden Figures; the true Story of four Black Women and The Space Race, written by Margot Lee Shetterly, the Nikki & Deja series by Karen English and Fancy Party Gowns by Deborah Blumenthal. In addition to illustrating books and editorial content, my art can be found on a wide range of products, from dishes and textiles to greeting cards.
