Aspiring Children's Book Illustrator
I love drawing, especially for children. I’ve been drawing since I can remember and have always wanted to be an illustrator. I got my Bachelor’s degree in illustration from California State University, Long Beach and my Associate’s degree in graphic design from Fullerton College. I currently work as a freelance illustrator / graphic designer while managing an online shop and creating content for Patreon, which I launched this year.
I have done a variety of illustration and graphic design work for clients from authors and musicians to event venues and restaurants. The main focus of my illustration work is for books, mainly for children. I have made illustrations for several different short stories, one of which was published as a series in 2020. I also worked on a book that teaches English phonetics to kids in Hong Kong. Other work I have done include the storyboards for two music videos for Amarante, an indie folk band, and an EP cover & merchandise design for Half Past Two, a ska band. Short-term projects I do include commissioned work such as family and pet portraits as well as logo designs. I am currently working on writing and illustrating my first children’s book and hope to have it published in the near future!
