2024 was a whirlwind year of big changes and growth! Hereās little recap of the year (read more on my blog!) š£ I became a mom! Baby Nayel arrived in July, and lifeās been full of giggles, sleepless nights, greasy hair and so much love. Slowing down for him has been the biggest adjustment, but Iām cherishing every moment. š¦ We moved to the U.S.! Saying goodbye to Canada was incredibly hard, but weāre finally settling into our new home and feeling hopeful about whatās ahead. šØ Before maternity leave, I worked on 3 books, including Salt Princess, which comes out in April! It was tough juggling art and morning sickness, but Iām so proud of how it turned out. š I also published 4 books this year (!!), including my second authored title. Thank you for showing them so much love! āØ 2025 marks 10 years in my career which is insane, and Iām ready for a fresh start and reinvention from my stagnation. Big plans are comingāa rebrand, a NEW BOOK (written during baby naps!), and lots of growth ahead. Thanks for all your love and support this year, you guys are amazing and I appreciate you so much. Letās make 2025 amazing! ā¤ļø . .
