I spent my early childhood in Germany. My family immigrated to Florida when I was 7, where I completed school as a non-native English speaker. I’ve been creating art since my early childhood, and I love creating family-friendly content with bright colors, unique character design, bold colors, and elements of whimsy or fantasy intermingled.

In 2025, I was mentored by Scholastic art director Maeve Norton, as part of a program by We Need Diverse Books.

I’m an avid traveler and love exploring new countries; I hope to combine my appreciation for diverse culture into my illustrations. When I’m not working or creating art, I spend time with my two dogs, paddle boarding, or reading a good book.
