About this gig

WELCOME TO MY GIG! IT GREAT HAVING YOU HERE!


Tell your story with the respect and authenticity it deserves. In childrens literature, representation mattersbut accuracy matters more.


I specialize in creating illustrations that go beyond "generic" diversity. I focus on the specific details that make a culture unique: traditional patterns, specific skin undertones, authentic architecture, and cultural artifacts.


My Commitment to Authenticity:


  • Research-Driven: I dive deep into the specific cultural setting of your book.
  • Detail-Oriented: Accurate portrayal of clothing (textiles, headwear), food, and home environments.
  • Respectful Storytelling: Avoiding stereotypes to create genuine, relatable characters.
