I’m an active member of the North Texas Chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). My goal is to create picture books that blend humor, surrealism, and technology. Most of my ideas bounce off the walls first—but eventually settle into quirky, meaningful stories ready to engage young readers.
