About Liz
Hello everyone! Many of you are learning about me here for the first time, but I look forward to working with every one of you in the coming two years.
My career experience, like many of us, has been a varied, winding path into creative professionalism. I graduated from Alfred University in 2011 with a BFA, then unexpectedly pivoted into the great wide world of association management.
Early in my career, I began volunteering for the Architectural Woodwork Institute (AWI) and re-established their New York chapter. When I later transitioned to being the Community Manager for the AWI, I supported chapters across the country, completed association executive training with the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE), and built a lasting vibrant community for their membership to grow in.
Though my career had steered me more down the path of membership coordination and social media management, I knew my passion for illustration needed its time to shine. In 2018 I took the leap and became a full-time freelance illustrator, specializing in children’s books. The Graphic Artists Guild, and other professional associations, have been instrumental in helping me develop and grow my business. I hope to pass on the goodwill and knowledge my time here has brought.
