About this gig

Bring your middle grade story to life with expressive, hand-drawn illustrations that feel made for your characters, not copied from a template. I create story-driven artwork for readers ages 812, with character acting, natural body language, memorable environments, and details that support the scene.


Ideal for:

Middle grade storybooks.

Chapter books.

Adventure and fantasy stories.

School and friendship stories.

Mystery and family stories.

Educational stories.


Send your manuscript, scene description, character reference, rough sketch, or visual direction. I can develop the illustration from your idea while keeping characters recognizable and consistent.


You receive high-resolution art prepared for print and digital use. Packages can include detailed backgrounds, multiple characters, source files, and print-ready delivery.


My process is simple: brief rough sketch approval refined hand-drawn artwork final delivery.


If your book needs illustrations that help readers understand the characters and feel the story, send me your manuscript or scene before you order.!
