She started drawing on restaurant placemats at age two and now she can't stop illustrating. She finished her Fine Arts degree at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and then she worked in Chicago as the art director of a toy company. Now she is back in Europe, working as a freelance illustrator where she has specialized in her true passion: hand lettering and childrens illustration. Her style is witty and upbeat.
