About

I am a Romanian children’s book illustrator and creative director for animation. An immigrant for life, I grew up in the beautiful west coast of Turkey, after a short stay in Czech Republic, I settled in Atlanta, GA and fell in love with southern food and the rich diversity of cuisine Atlanta offered. But five years on the other side of the globe couldn’t calm my yearning for the mediterranean sea, so I returned and settled in Izmir, Turkey. Now, I can finally live my plant momma life and swim in the most beautiful coves.


After finishing my MFA in Illustration at SCAD Atlanta, I started working at Fern, where I am currently a creative director for narrative animation. I continue to illustrate for incredible children’s books. PS: I do have a little bit of an obsession with astrophysics…
