About
I live in Mar del Plata, Argentina. My career in architecture morphed quickly after the birth of my first child. My growing love for children's books inspired me to venture into book illustration. For over a decade, I've joyously followed my passion for drawing and illustration.

Hector the Misunderstood Snake by Kim Schmidt
friend, but learns quickly that others do not like him simply because he is a snake.
The themes of treating others well, regardless of how they look on the outside, and being brave and selfless in frightening situations will resonate with the young reader and parents alike.
The Magical Mystery Pond by Ron Fogel
The author of this book is not an author in the true sense of the word. He is an engineer, a manufacturing executive, and an inventor. More importantly, though, he is a father. It was storytime with his young children, Megan & Brian, that was the inspiration for this story. The kids preferred "made up stories" to just reading a book.
