You're bright like springtime sunshine, <<First Name>>!
Peep peep peep! We borrowed two little chickies from school for an overnight slumber party. SO much fun.

Here's what I've been working on when I'm not running a farm out of our apartment.

Enjoy!

😮  PAX AND BLUE in The New York Times Book Review!


Holy moly. The New York Times Book Review recently called my book Pax and Blue a "sprightly debut," and compared the art to one of my heroes: "the spare pages have a friendly, retro look that calls to mind Syd Hoff’s welcoming urban spaces..." 

The book is dedicated to my boys, so it was quite special to see the review on Mother's Day.

👟  From remedial gym class to Runner’s World


I've been documenting my training for the Brooklyn Half Marathon on Instagram with an art series called #viewfrommyrun. Now the series is profiled in Runner's World magazine. (Middle school me, who failed the Presidential Physical Fitness Test, is smiling.)

📚  Picture books in the wild


Carter Higgins interviewed me for Design of the Picture Book. (Carter's debut middle grade novel, A Rambler Steals Home, is a baseball story perfect for summer.)

I visited Goosehill Primary School in Cold Spring Harbor, NY and met 200+ kindergarteners and 1st graders. We had so much fun reading and drawing! I can visit your school, too.

 

⭐ Cool clients, cool projects


My website design client Tiffany Dufu launched her don't-do-it-all memoir and manifesto, Drop the Ball, and The New York Times loves it.

ThirstyNest is a new kind of wedding registry... for your home bar. Sign up for launch and you may get some emails I designed.

The folks at Meridian have traveled to far-flung places to visit artisans and source fabrics for home goods. Each product has a metal tag with the logo I made! Sign up for launch.

🎨  What’s on my desk

Spooky, silly art from Skelly's Halloween by David Martin, coming next year. Boo!

Character studies from Oopsie-Do! by Grammy award-winner Tim Kubart, coming next year.
Choosing endpaper colors for Bunny's Staycation with my amazing team at Scholastic.

💃🏻 Seeking new work


I’m actively seeking design projects! I’d love to work on marketing, logos/branding, and websites. Email me if you have a project you think might be a fit. (And please pass my info along to friends and colleagues who may need a designer!)
