About Me

I've been making art since the day I could hold a pencil—charging my family 25 cents to see my masterpieces" in a makeshift gallery that also doubled as my bedroom. Fast forward to today, and I’m still drawing, though my art now reaches a much wider audience (and I no longer charge admission!).

Best Selling Illustrator

As a 3X New York Times bestselling illustrator, I’m best known for books like Dear Girl and Dear Boy, and I’m also the author of the Magical Creatures series. I’ve worked on over 30 books, bringing stories to life with illustrations that mix heart and magic. My books have sold over 1 million copies worldwide, meaning many bedtime stories have become more magical.

Animation

When I’m not busy creating worlds on paper, I’m bringing them to life on screen. As a character designer and visual development artist, I work my magic in the world of animation—and yes, I’ve even sold my very own animated series to a network!

Daydreamer

When I’m not creating, you can find me hugging trees, sipping tea, sniffing books, or daydreaming about unicorns (it’s research, I swear).

My mission? To sprinkle a little magic into the world, inspire others to find their own, and make sure everyone knows that unicorns are absolutely, 100% real.
