Over years of hands-on creative practice, I have established a dedicated career as a children's book illustrator and 2D animator, helping indie authors, publishers, and content creators turn raw manuscripts into captivating visual media. My background is rooted in traditional and digital art techniques, specializing in hand-drawn watercolor storybook illustrations that bring warmth, emotion, and character-driven depth to picture books. Throughout my freelance practice, I have illustrated and laid out complete interior book spreads and front-and-back covers for over a dozen self-published children's books. A core achievement of my illustration work is maintaining absolute character consistency across entire stories, ensuring that color palettes, facial expressions, and proportions remain seamless from page one to the final spread. My hand-crafted watercolor style gives picture books an authentic, timeless quality that resonates deeply with young readers and parents alike. Expanding beyond static publishing, I bring illustrated assets into motion through 2D character animation and animated book trailers. By separating custom artwork into functional layers and setting up precise rigs, I translate written scripts and book scenes into dynamic video content. My work includes creating 15-to-60-second cinematic trailers, character animation loops, and promo videos designed for Kickstarter campaigns, Amazon A+ content, and social media marketing on Instagram and TikTok. Working with clients across self-publishing, educational media, and indie animation studios, my workflow emphasizes clear communication, strict adherence to publishing print specifications (300 DPI, bleed setups), and timely delivery. Every project is executed with artistic precision, bridging traditional storytelling with modern digital animation to maximize visual impact and market success.
