Hi! I'm Isabel. 

Born and raised in Boca Raton to a pair of Bolivian immigrants, matured in Orlando and currently living my adult life in Maitland, Florida. I'm an avid movie goer, a giant word nerd, and talented in mispronouncing basic English words, which is just the beginning of my endearing quirks. I love to doodle, cook, and read (sometimes a book a day—I know, I should really go outside more). I freely admit to loving the heck out of Young Adult literature (Potter!) and am a raving romantic sentimentalist—I adore Austen, James, Hardy and Wharton. I'm big on imagination, traveling, trivia about world history, and getting to the heart of the things. I have a profound fondness for all things Anthropologie. 

Along with writing, I’m also a graphic designer, specializing in greeting cards. My work has been sold in nationwide brands like Anthropologie (!!!), Crate and Barrel, and Paper Source, and in over 350 mom and pop shops around the country. To take a look at recent designs, check out 9th Letter Press, a company I founded and sold in 2017.

Thanks for stopping by!
