About
I am a graphic designer, printer, illustrator, photographer, and creative collaborator. I work in publishing in Boston creating picture books and novels for children and teens. One of my greatest passions is co-creating with colleagues. Contact me if you're interested in making work together, or if you're interested in freelance design work.
