Hello! ☺︎✌︎

I write and illustrate books for little people and am happiest drawing and telling stories.♥︎✎

I was born in sunny Rio, Brazil, and have been making pictures ever since I could hold my first crayon. After studying art and design, I went travelling and came across the MA in Children's Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art, from where I graduated in 2014.

Screen-printing is my media of choice for creating picture books and I'm forever in love with it. I work by hand and like it that my illustrations exist in 'the real world'. I work from my home studio in London.

___________________________

Alongside my children's book work, I run interactive and fun events for children and I'd love to visit your school, library or festival. 

I also run workshops and talks for aspiring children's authors and illustrators on the themes of writing picture books, children's book illustration and character design. I'm very flexible and the format can always be adapted to accommodate your needs. Let me know what your ideal author visit would look like! ☺︎
