But first, let’s look at 2025
It’s been a year of trying new things, exploring possibilities, and being thankful for the support of long-time customers. 

This year, I’ve tried my hand at publishing my own book from start to finish. I’ve learned so many things I hope to use in my work going forward -to be a more useful illustrator to my clients. 

A collaboration with Makikurabu, a woodworking shop in my town, has been so fun. It’s not often you can see your design through from concept to final packaging. Looking forward to more of that in 2026. 

2026

Next year, many of the books I worked on this year will be published, and I’ll be sure to share each of them as they arrive.  

-And to those of you who wanted to know, yes, there will be another coloring book scheduled for the middle of next year! 

Have a wonderful holiday season.
Thanks for everything.
