Everything changed when I met a group of art students on a metro commute home. I followed my curiosity and started taking art classes. My inner voice that told me that I was an artist. An artist makes art and I wanted to be able to think of ideas and make them happen.

Following my interest in art led to a job at Pixar as a production scheduler. Eventually, I left Pixar to pursue my artistic goals at Art Center College of Design. It was at Art Center that I discovered my love of picture books. Afterwards, I worked in games before becoming a published picture book author/illustrator with the publication of Ninja!

In 2016, I founded Storyteller Academy to share my knowledge of how to make picture books.
