I’m so happy you’re here.
Join me in the messy process of "making": scribbly sketches in notebook margins, research deep dives, happy accidents... Let's celebrate the exploration that is illustration.
Why “My Yellow Armchair”?
Because it’s my favorite place in the whole world. Tucked in the corner of my living room is a yellow armchair, and on Saturday mornings that’s where you’ll find me, coffee in hand. (+ a sketchbook + a New Yorker + some poetry , + an oversized child on my lap + whatever book said child wants to read…)
My yellow armchair is where I sit and sip, and (when I can manage it) let my brain be quiet. Questions percolate, sketches slip out, and illustrative ideas begin.
