Interview

What was your favorite book when you were a child?

Harry Potter

What’s your favorite line from a book?

“Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.”

Who are your top three favorite authors or illustrators?

Lauren Weisberger
J. K. Rowling
Too many illustrators to name.

Why did you want to become an author or illustrator?

I’ve been drawing since I could hold a pencil, but it wasn’t until I saw The Devil Wears Prada in high school that I realized I wanted to “illustrate for magazines” which I now know is an editorial illustrator.

Do you have any advice for future authors or illustrators?

Take time to practice and enjoy the journey.
