Illustrations for Magazines
I’ve had the privilege of contributing illustrations to children’s magazines since around 2015. I’ve created covers, puzzles, mazes, spot illustrations, and more for the family of Highlights magazines, and for other publications like Ranger Rick, Jr Magazine, American Girl, and Cousteau Kids. Here are some of my favorite pieces.
Highlights High Five Magazine
This festive little turtle buddy appeared on the cover of Highlights High Five’s December, 2022 issue.
Highlights Magazine
I really enjoy designing mazes! This one appeared in Highlights Magazine’s July 2025 issue.
More Highlights Puzzles
Chocolate Milk puzzle for January, 2024 issue of Highlights Magazine. Winter Map puzzle for December, 2024 issue.
Ranger Rick Cub
Ranger Rick Cub is an adorable little magazine for babies and toddlers published by the National Wildlife Federation. This piece appeared in their April/May, 2018 issue.
Ranger Rick Jr. Magazine
This assignment was so fun! I was asked to depict animals in a style reminiscent of children's sidewalk chalk art for Ranger Rick Jr.’s July, 2021 issue. Readers then sent in photos of their own creations on their local sidewalks! It doesn’t get much better than this!
Highlights Hello
I consider working for Highlights one of the *highlights* of my illustration career! For the past few years, I've been contributing to their magazines for toddlers (Highlights Hello), for young kids (Highlights High Five), and bilingual kids (Highlights High Five Bilingüe).
I've illustrated several "Look and Look Again" and "Find It" activities, which ask kids to spot the differences between two images or locate an item within an image, and "Action Rhymes," which use animal characters to demonstrate a simple exercise activity.
And I'm currently illustrating mazes for a Highlights activity book, which is so much fun!
The kitchen "Find It" illustration (right) appeared in Hello's November, 2016 issue.
Highlights High Five Magazine
This piece appeared in Highlights High Five’s August 2017 issue. The circles feature photos of a child doing the exercises described in the rhyme.

This "Animal Fun" puzzle appeared in a 2022 issue of Ranger Rick Jr.
