It’s nice to meet you!

I’m an animation designer, illustrator + kid’s book writer. Since 2006 I’ve worked on all things weird + wonderful for kids from books to apps to tv shows.

I designed on the Nick Jr. shows The Wonder Pets and Team Umizoomi and the kid’s apps, Tiggly and Toca TV (Toca Boca). I’ve written and illustrated two chapter book series, Olive & Beatrix (Scholastic) and Paige Proves It (Simon & Schuster). I worked as Senior Artist on the Noggin / Nickelodeon content team developing and designing original content and series for kids. More recently I have worked as a freelance illustrator for companies like Roku and Imagine Learning.

After 20+ years as a New Yorker, I am currently working remotely in Las Vegas where I can be found hiking, buying more books than I can read, and scribbling nonsense in sketchbooks :)
