Hey, I’m Cyndi! Thanks for stopping by.
​
I’m an Illustrator and Author currently based in Atlanta, Georgia. I studied Graphic Design in college, and for years pursued freelance projects specializing in music venue posters, album artwork, and book covers. I was also signed to indie label as a singer/songwriter. I toured the country and licensed my music for TV/Film and commercials.
No matter the medium, telling stories has always been a central theme.
When I became a mom to 2 spirited boys, I fell in love with picture books, savoring the time spent curled up together on the couch reading - the only time they would sit still! My mission as an illustrator/author is to ignite imagination, create connection, and inspire the next generation to be the best humans they can be.
​
I love working on projects with elements of fantasy, magic, nature, adventure, and music.

Interesting Facts
Prior to focusing on visual art, I focused on MUSIC. My music has been licensed by Burt’s Bees, the Coca-Cola Company, MTV, HBO, CBS, the Oakland A’s, Tap Tap Revenge app, the Meaning of Maggie book, and more! You can also find a few of my albums on Spotify.
My family had a viral video that received over 40 million views! I filmed the video of my husband beatboxing to my then-18-mo-old son in our kitchen one evening after dinner, and literally overnight we had a licensing deal, an interview with ABC, and people all over the world sharing our little kitchen video.
In college (in Athens, Georgia), I wrote a song called “California Waiting,” then 2 years later, my husband and I headed west so he could go to the San Francisco Circus Center. We camped across the country, with only had what we could fit in our van. We didn’t have a place to live or jobs to bring in $ until a few weeks after we arrived. This sense of adventure inspires the visual art I create today.
