I designed this highly personalized wedding stationery suite for two dear friends. This project was a joy to work on as it incorporated so many things that I love to make: repeat patterns, icons, a map, labels, and signage.

A 48-page, full-color, 10” square book for young readers, written by Chris Travis. Available on Amazon.

This piece was created after a recipe card that was gifted to the client and her husband for their wedding, by her mother. The recipe has been tweaked and perfected over the years, and was put to use a lot during the client’s childhood when she had a cherry tree in her backyard.

Shown are the final piece and a scan of the original painting.

My husband and I created this project for his mother, in celebration of some of his favorite family dishes. He selected things that she made when he was a kid, which he introduced into his own culinary repertoire, that he and I now make together.

A personal project inspired by my sister's love for rice pudding

I produced my first set of Drawn & Eaten postcards in a short run for my 2013 holiday takeaway. They embody the intention of Drawn & Eaten: empower and encourage skill sharing in the kitchen.

Hot Air Popcorn is a collaboration I did with my brother, Aaron. When I started thinking about doing collaborations for Drawn & Eaten, I knew from the get-go that I wanted to make a comic with him. Not only is he a voracious reader and lover of comics, but he possesses some of the most beautiful handwriting I've ever seen. He is a man of routine in every regard, and ritualistically makes a huge bowl of popcorn every night. It is consistent in its perfection: hot, fluffy, buttery, salty. I knew he was the one to consult about popcorn making. Per my request, he hand wrote, on a sheet of copy paper, his step-by-step instructions. I scanned them into my computer, colored and arranged them, and paired them with the corresponding images, which I drew in ink and watercolor.
