What inspired you to write/illustrate your first book? I have always wanted to reach out and share my ideas with children.
Do you use your childhood as inspiration? I am a 32 year old 12-year-old. I am a professional child!
What are your hobbies and interests besides reading and books? I enjoy traveling the far and dusty corners of the world, reading about design and architecture, and eating cookies.
