It’s been one year that my picture book, Quiet Kush, has been out in the world! To celebrate, I made a paper-sculpted chocolate cake, and am currently hosting a giveaway on IG.

I’m also going to be doing a school visit this Friday and I’m so excited! #kidlit

A winter woodland sticker sheet for a sweet nature-based playgroup—I truly love working on these unique commissions!

The client wanted woodland creatures but no holiday motifs, as they’ll be used for all of winter ❄️ all of the animals, the snowman and a few snowflakes are stickers! #illustration

Dusted off my market props for a very cute holiday bazaar with a bit of stationery and signed books!
