Why did you want to become an author or illustrator?
It is fun to be able to share my drawings with a larger audience. I enjoy drawing for myself, of course, but I also love to hear what others think of my art. Being an illustrator lets me do just that!

Do you have any advice for future authors or illustrators?
Just keep practicing! Illustrating well is like learning a language, the more you draw different things, the greater vocabulary you build and the more you are able to communicate through drawings. The more you draw, the better you will become.
