Formally trained as an architect, I now tell stories through drawings instead of buildings. I have worked with a variety of clients on both commercial and personal projects, from commissioned artwork to wallpaper design, menu illustrations, and more. Most of my art is created by hand using a mix of mediums. I spend a lot of time looking for wonder, even in the smallest things, and every piece I make hopes to enchant, delight, amuse —and befriend the kid inside of you.
I am available for commissions and always eager to hear about new projects! Please reach out and say hello:

(A little more about me)
Born to a French mom and a Southern dad, I grew up climbing trees and wandering freely through the small towns of eastern France. At the age of seventeen, I set out in search of adventure and moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, where I attended Architecture School before spending the next eight years working for award-winning firms: first in New England (Gray Organschi Architecture) and then Raleigh (The Raleigh Architecture Company). Although drawing, painting and story-telling had always been an essential part of my design work, it took me a long time to find the courage to leave the field of building to pursue my childhood dream of being an illustrator and writer. I am now actively working on several children’s books and enjoy illustrating fun things for local businesses and friends. When I’m not drawing, you can find me roaming the aisles of plant nurseries, reading a good book, enjoying pizza with friends, or arranging flowers.
