Background:
While working as a high school/middle school para, I began creating study guides for students in our special education program. However, we quickly discovered ALL students could benefit from the visuals! Soon, teachers from different grades and subjects were requesting custom cartoon visuals to assist students. Teachers loved having something they could save for future use and students seemed to really enjoy the quirky style/easy study reference. I especially love taking on projects for "hard-to-find" visual materials.
