Molly Makes

Is a joyful and imaginative picture book brought to life through my expressive, character-driven illustrations. From Molly’s big-hearted curiosity to Gunner’s loyal enthusiasm, each scene captures the warmth, mischief, and wonder of childhood. I focused on playful details, cozy textures, and emotional storytelling to reflect the heart of this sweet story, a little girl’s attempt to cook a surprise dinner with the help of her trusty pup. This project was a delight to illustrate, blending humor, family connection, and a dash of chaos into every page.

All I Gained

Is a tender and empowering picture book that explores grief, healing, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter. The author requested a whimsical, dreamy tone, and I was honored to adapt while staying true to my style—blending soft light, expressive emotion, vibrant color, and garden-inspired imagery.

This award-winning book was a deeply meaningful project to illustrate, using poetic visuals and heartfelt storytelling to help young readers process big feelings with comfort and hope.

The Little Ballerina

Is a joyful and heartwarming picture book brought to life through light-filled, expressive illustrations. From the nervous excitement of trying something new to the sparkle of connection between new friends, each page radiates warmth, movement, and gentle emotion. I focused on capturing soft morning light, cozy pastels, and playful gesture to reflect the story’s themes of courage, belonging, and the magic of ballet.

This project was a delight to illustrate—blending graceful motion, childhood wonder, and a palette full of optimism into every scene.
