I'm an award-winning illustrator born in Brazil and Irish at heart, creating whimsical illustrations and picturebooks that gently invite children & grownups to connect to their inner happy feeling.

I visit libraries & schools and facilitate workshops at various events. I also work as a Champion of Reading at St. Joseph’s NS in Dundalk helping to foster a love for stories, reading & books and I regularly write children’s books reviews for Inis Magazine.

When I’m not working you may find me playing with my son, walking my dogs, doing pilates, learning a language (Haigh, a chairde!), listening to podcasts, journalling, reading, DIYing, drinking oat milk cappuccinos, or enjoying cinnamon rolls with my hubby. I always carry a sketchbook with me and autumn is my favourite season.
