My speciality is creating captivating illustrations for children's books that inspire joy and positivity. My artistic vision aims to make connections, start conversations, and entertain whilst teaching young readers.
I received my first paid commission in high school, when asked to create a mural of cute animal characters. While I worked full-time in banking and finance for over a decade, my passion for imaginative projects never died. In March 2020, I started illustrating my children around the house during lockdown, and my passion project became a full-time career.
I am thrilled to share that my first children's book, 'Little Shark Lulu is Sleeping' was published in August 2022, with my second book, 'Mia's Glamma' published in May 2023.
Whether I'm using Procreate to bring characters to life, on the beach in Sydney, or spending time with my family (husband and 3 kids) and pets (a fur baby and two axolotls), I am always exploring the boundless possibilities of my visual storytelling.
