I’m a Canadian illustrator, designer and printmaker, based in a beautiful seaside town in Wicklow, Ireland.
Connecting with people through meaningful and beautiful images brings me joy. In 2024, I pursued my illustration career, blending my love for picture-making with over 8 years of experience in graphic design and art direction.
My work is inspired by themes like nature, culture, shared experiences, and mindfulness. I’m drawn to creating detailed illustrations, balancing precision with organic lines and shapes.
I work with both digital and traditional mediums—pencil, pen, paint, linocut, and Risograph. Exploring my mixed heritage deepened my fascination with nature-inspired art and patterns, which link my diverse cultures.

When I’m not illustrating, I’m designing at Stop-A-While Studio.
In 2020, I founded Stop-A-While Studio, inspired by my grandparents' diner and post office, where people always came first. Specialising in branding and graphic design, we collaborate with creative agencies, small business owners, and entrepreneurs to bring ideas to life. We create concept-driven design solutions that form meaningful connections between our clients and their audiences.
