After graduating from Rhode Island School of Design's Illustration Department in 2002, I spent 6 years as a graphic designer as well as doing some freelance, illustration and fine art. Luckily I was laid off from my full-time job in February of 2009, and am now able to work at home full-time as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer. I am currently illustrating and designing a series of educational children's books. I also design powersports ads and catalogs, and I am the production designer for The Women's Times, a local monthly magazine. And in my spare time I make paintings from melted crayons. I am having too much fun!
