I love connecting with readers, creators and book people!

I’ve visited groups of all ages from pre-school to adult, and would love to share at your school or join in at your conference. I talk with students about creativity, bravery, perseverance, and about my wild journey of becoming an author (I come bearing fun activities too)! I also coach adults on how they can up their design game — leaning in on my decades of experience in the commercial arts. Contact me with your event details!
