    I am a freelance illustrator/animator who live in North Texas, USA. I've created the animations and illustrations for educational houses and been selected as an Honorable Mention of '09 SCBWI Don Freeman Grants for Illustrator. I was also one of 50 semi-finalist for Global Talent Search 2016 competition from Lilla Rogers Studio. Recently I won 2nd place in book mark contest from Plano public library and enjoy to see my design banner hanging up in the libraries. Please feel free to contact me for any inquiries and opportunities. Thanks for stopping by!
