Today, I am a published author and Illustrator and a professor at California College of the Arts in San Francisco where I teach Drawing for Animation, Visual Storytelling and Color and Design for Visual Development. Throughout my career, visual storytelling  has always been the common thread, whether in publishing, editorial illustration, animation, or education.

My work has been recognized by the Society of Illustrator's Original Art Exhibition, for The Wrong Side Of The Bed (Rizzoli International) and by the Society of Publication Designers Spot Show for editorial illustration. My illustrations have appeared in The New York Times Book Review, BusinessWeek, Psychology Today, MS., Audio, Wold Tennis and numerous other publications.

In animation, I have collaborated  on television pilots, series, and commercials, including Nickelodeon’s Dora The Explorer. I also co-created and designed What’s On Your Plate , a national animated television and print campaign for McDonald’s and the Society For Nutrition Education, that used humor and storytelling to teach children about healthy eating. The campaign aired nationally and internationally for several years and received a Mobius Award and an award from the Chicago International Film Festival.

Clients include HBO, Nickelodeon, Skyship Entertainment, McDonalds, Society for Nutrition Education, Rizzoli International Publishing, Inc., McMillan/ McGraw-Hill, Harcourt Brace & Company, Houghton Mifflin, Cahnerss Publishing and Scholastic.

As both a writer and illustrator, I enjoy creating stories that combine strong visual storytelling with authentic characters and emotional resonance. My work ranges from nostalgic adventures and children’s picture books to original animated series and graphic novels, all united by a belief that the best stories entertain while leaving the reader with a sense of wonder.
