Storyboards

Storyboards are an essential part of film and animation, allowing the story to be pre-visualized before cameras start rolling. Presentation boards are more high-polish and used by Agencies to sell a commercial concept to a client. Shooting boards are quicker, typically b&w illustrations that are more concerned with aligning all known elements of the production -Director's vision, locations, casting, script- ahead of the shoot date!

Graphic Novels & Illustration

À la carte graphic-novel services include outlining, scripting, layouts, line art, and color. I can also handle the full package, from initial concept through final, lettered, print-ready files, depending on scope, budget, and availability.

I’m drawn to genre and high-action storytelling for middle-grade readers and up. I can develop loose ideas into a comic narrative or adapt an existing work- whether a novel, outline, or script-into graphic-novel form.

Author Appearances

Author Appearances typically include a discussion of the graphic novels, with side quests into how they are made, research trips around the world, and the occasional drawing demonstration followed by a Q&A. Graphic Presentations are flexible and tailored to the audience I'm talking to- mostly school, libraries, and conference visits in my function as a graphic novelist. Currently booking for Fall '26 school year, for information on individual programming reach out in any of the ways.

Visual Consultation & Live sketching- Virtual

Virtually, Services can include live sketching during meetings, visual note-taking, concept visualization, presentation support, design ideation, and rapid illustration of technical or narrative ideas.
