The illustrator behind XO-LP
A lifelong Iowan who values the U.S. Postal Service and a thoughtfully handwritten note, I started XO-LP in 2009 producing whimsical illustrations made with markers and wit. I went from full-time fundraiser to full-time illustrator in 2014, a dream I’ve had since creating my first hand-made greeting card in 1988.
In the past 8 years, I have worked on over 500 custom illustration projects including illustrations that appeared in Midwest Living and Better Homes and Gardens Magazines, a Rogue jump box that Carrie Underwood owns and featured in her recent book, a portable mural for Facebook, a real life water tower that looks over my hometown of Muscatine, Iowa, hundreds of foam core wine glasses and lots of spooky drawings for my nephew, Charlie.
When I’m not working, I like to spend my time exploring new places, enjoying a great class of red wine with a terrific meal and dreaming up new drawing projects with all the cool kids in my life.
