My work blends imagination, humor, and heart, often inspired by real life moments, music, and the simple magic of childhood wonder. From my days as an award-winning DJ to my current adventures in the arts, I am equal parts lover of jazz, vinyl records, picture books, and cartoons-animation. Today, I continue to develop new character driven worlds and stories that reflect the fun, challenges, and connections of everyday life.
