Meet the Illustrator
Howdy, I’m Haley.
I’m a self-taught illustrator (though I like to think of myself as a professional doodler), based out of New York, New York.
I specialize in digital art, with a focus on character and color (and lots of it!)
I took the roundabout route in deciding illustrating was the right path for me: I worked in product development in the fashion industry straight out of college, right up until the Pandemic, during which I made the biggest career pivot of my life. I put down PLM and picked up my (Apple) pen and started doing freelance illustration work.
Since the latter end of 2020, I have illustrated 8 children’s books, hired as a concept artist for an animated TV show, and been commissioned for wedding gifts, stationary, and the like.

Testimonials
Working with Haley the past two and a half years has been the most amazing experience. From the first time we spoke in August 2022, I had a feeling that she would be the best fit to hire as the illustrator for my first children's book, which is all about Brooklyn, New York. Before we started the project, I warned Haley that I was envisioning extremely detailed and numerous illustrations related to Brooklyn and that I did not want to overwhelm her. In her classic confident fashion, she reassured me that she was up to the challenge. And the results speak for themselves!
Haley puts her heart and soul into every illustration. Her choice and use of color is so beautiful and truly resonates with readers. It is very common for my two daughters (ages 4 and 6) to reference illustrations of Haley's (both from my book and another author's). This is the ultimate beauty of Haley's work: the lasting impact it has on the minds and hearts of children. I cannot wait to work with Haley again!

I worked with Haley on a small commission celebrating my 1,000 followers on Instagram and couldn't be happier with the results. She created a unique graphic featuring my favorite anime characters. Skip ahead to when I was looking for an illustrator for my book, "Jensen Cleans His Room," I knew I needed to ask Haley; she was professional and collaborative, not to mention her mesmerizing illustrations. I couldn't be happier that I worked with Haley in order to bring my story to life and I hope to collaborate again in the future.

Haley is a star. She is not only an incredibly talented illustrator, but also extremely professional and diligent in her follow ups. Haley makes the illustration process of creating a book seamless and fun. She especially has a gift for making characters and moments come to life in a relatable way in her drawings. Grateful that I've had the opportunity to work with such an all around wonderful creative like her!

I contracted Haley to develop concept art and illustrate a pitch bible for an animated series with a classic-Disney-meets-90's-Nickelodeon style. Haley took the written notes and visual references I provided and created ultra-charismatic characters, settings and a graphic design to tie the document together that jump off the page. Haley's artwork has successfully attracted the interest of animation executives to my project. Haley produced gorgeous art with lots of creative additions and improvements to my original ideas. She went above and beyond to improve the work based on feedback and even proofread my writing! Twelve out of ten, I recommend Haley to anyone who needs standout artwork done.
