Hello! I am an author and illustrator of picture books for children, and a storyboard and scenic artist for movies and TV, fashion and interior design, and currently an adjunct professor at Drexel University Westphal College of Media Arts & Design and School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. When I’m not drawing, I’m writing! In 2015 I was honored to be a Sundance Screenwriting Fellow and awarded the San Francisco Film Society Hearst Grant along with my friend, Brent Green.  My five picture books,  FraidyzooThe Bear Report, Alfie, How Do You Dance? and Sal Boat are published with Abrams Books for Young Readers and have received critical acclaim (phew!) and international translation (The Bear Report can be found in Korean, Chinese, and Russian!).  In 2018, Alfie was awarded an E.B. White Read Aloud Honor by the Association of Booksellers for Children.  I was born and raised in Cambridge, MA in a family of artists, and graduated from Brown University with a BA in Art Semiotics with a focus on film and video. (I will happily delve into the semiotic of anything over a beer or two.) I love to collaborate with artists of all kinds from my studio in Brooklyn, NY. I also love playing soccer, walking around New York City and drawing strangers.
