Art has always been a part of my life. Growing up, there wasn’t a safe piece of paper in my home—I doodled everywhere and everything. Then I started pencil sketching portraits in my early teens. A few years later, I discovered Photoshop and fell in love.

I’ve earned both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in business, but my passion for art never faded. After working at a corporation for 15½ years, I decided to make a change. In 2012, I stepped out of a corporate management position and stepped into the role of full-time, freelance book cover artist and designer. I now use my design, marketing, and business experience to create art that grabs the reader’s attention. And I’ve never been happier.

My first book cover design was published in 2005. My creations have received numerous awards and accolades and many have graced bestseller titles. For me, there’s something magical about finding that right combination of images and text and then shaping them to create the perfect visual story. Because I do love a good story, especially those told in a picture.
