Children’s Book & Toy Illustrator @ Rep'd by Illo Agency
About
I’m an award-winning children’s book and product illustrator based in San Francisco, rep'd by Illo Agency. I started in graphic design, creating packaging for children’s creative kits and stickers, before focusing on illustration for books, toys, and other children’s products. I especially love creating cute characters, busy scenes and illustrate products that include interactive elements. My clients include Mudpuppy, Auzou, Cottage Door Press, and Child’s Play. I’m now expanding my practice beyond commissioned illustration into prints, public speaking, mentoring, and becoming more involved in the creative community.
How I can help
I help emerging illustrators strengthen their portfolios, identify their niche, and present their work to publishers, agencies, and brands. As a represented children’s illustrator, I can share practical advice on children’s publishing and products, finding freelance opportunities, working with international clients, communicating professionally, and navigating agency representation.
