She always loved drawing and, growing up, was surrounded by books and stories, as her mother was a storyteller and children's librarian. On family road trips, she'd study the big atlases as they trekked from state to state, fascinated by all of the layers of information and iconography.

Her obsession with maps resurfaced, now through her illustration work, drawing dozens of colorful cities across the globe.
