I’m an award-winning Creative Director turned indie children’s author and illustrator. Through my imprint True Heart Tails, I’ve taken your personal encounters with special animals—and my work with special needs children and art therapy—and transformed them into meaningful picture books. My goal has been to create stories that inspire kindness, bravery, and connection while also building a creative brand ecosystem (books, events, art, and more) for families to enjoy.

True Heart Tails is your growing universe of children’s stories inspired by real animals who’ve left pawprints (and hoofprints) on your life. Each book blends heartfelt storytelling, whimsical illustration, and life lessons that connect with children and adults alike. At its core, the brand celebrates courage, friendship, resilience, and love—rooted in true experiences and shared through a creative, compassionate lens.
