Book marketing pro by day. Writer by night. Occasionally talks into microphones - voice of Sirenetta (Tiny Siren). Delights in a good pun.

Got permission from @mattbr.bsky.social to share this scene from the Sirenetta movie. So happy to see my character, the Witch's assistant fully animated! Loved working on this project with @tinysiren.com. If you're able to please consider donating to our kickstarter to help finish up this fun story.

This was a total “dream come true” experience for me. An ocean-sized depth of gratitude to Matt and @tinysiren.com for the opportunity!
Three years ago we wrapped in-person recording for “Sirenetta: Part-Time Mermaid” with 3 of our leads - Ashleigh Heaton as Sirenetta, Blake Cordell as Freckles, & Jujubee as Archie!
Time really flies 😵💫 I can’t wait for everyone to enjoy our incredible cast’s performances!

I couldn't pass up a free excuse to draw @tinysiren.com's Nettie.
I decided to draw her if she were more of a Pomegranate style mermaid, so I leaned more into the triggerfish inspiration of her tail. #SirenettaDTIYS
