I am entranced by the faerie tale of beauty. Moving between fashion, fantasy, and children's books, I am equally enamored of the magic each brings to life. The way they paint the quotidian in shades of the exciting and mysterious: adventures to be undertaken, secrets to be learned. I believe there is great beauty in curiosity: of a lifelong love of learning, of exploring, and admiring the enchanting all around us.

I earned my B. A. in Medieval & Early Modern Studies and English from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2013 and am currently pursuing my M. A. in Illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design. I am also an active member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
