Idelette asked me to create a poster for SheLoves Magazine for the month of August. (Download it here.) So I doodled this oyster early in the morning before the girls I nanny woke up. Just me, the morning light and a Micron pen.
NO GRIT, NO PEARL.
Quarter One: LAUNCH
It’s such a privilege to work with Kelley and Claude Nikondeha and highlight their work in Burundi. Love this Quarter One flipbook.
Prayers for Syria
Sometimes creating art is about drawing attention to a cause. It’s time to end this conflict in Syria. Will you pray with us? Read the article that accompanies this art over at SheLoves Magazine.
Kwizera Academy: Flipbook
The best part about working for an online magazine, is that your associates and friends scatter the globe and yet feel so close. I met Kelley Nikondeha as an editor at SheLoves Magazine. I always admired her writing. She always admired my flipbooks. Now I’m partnering with Kelley and Claude over at Communities of Hope […]

Ms. magazine, blog infographics, Summer 2011
The best part about Los Angeles is the beach. The second best part? The music. The third best? Making infographics in an air-conditioned room for Ms. magazine. What a trip.
Girls Learn International
While interning for Ms. magazine I was asked to design the invitations for a Girls Learn International luncheon.
Klipsun Magazine Spring 2011 “Senses”
I’m almost positive I have never had so much fun nor so much stress as I did in my final quarter at Western Washington University, designing Klipsun Magazine with Carey Rose. I am forever indebted to those long-ass nights for teaching me to love Illustrator and InDesign. And also grateful for my sleep deprivation that […]
Girl Crush, Ms. blog
How do you find art for a blog post about girl crushes? Well, one way is to create your own with watercolors. That’s just what I did for this blog post I wrote for the Ms. blog.
