In 2008, Liz got to work as an art intern at Hachette Book Group, just days after graduating from Emerson College with a BFA in writing, literature, and publishing. She rose to senior designer, and in 2015, went freelance to build her art and design portfolio. Liz has loved being an independent creative ever since.

Liz is known for her iconic illustrated book covers. She has art directed several picture books, illustrated novels, and many covers. She is the artist behind the hilarious middle grade series, The Tapper Twins, the indispensable Teenage Guy’s Survival Guide, and the pregnancy/fertility guides Bumpin’ and Fertility Rules. Happy clients include Amazon, Audible, Bloomsbury, Disney-Hyperion, Epic Reads, Hachette, Harper Collins, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Lee & Low, Macmillan, Penguin Random House, Soho Books, Workman, and more.

Liz is also the author-illustrator of Baller Ina, her debut picture book about a young athlete in a tutu with an unbeatable spirit and a great shot (Knopf Kids 2023). She is inspired by her two little ones to write stories that make kids proud of hard tries, small wins, self-styled outfits, safety scissor haircuts, cartwheel attempts, and never-before-seen pool jumps.

In addition to books, Liz loves film, and is happy to hop onto any project with folks that pair well with her creative spirit. In 2023 she illustrated key art for the film Rats! which will premiere at Cucalorus Film Festival, and created animated GIFs, memes, and a lyrics video for Slotherhouse, which premiered in theaters this summer and is now streaming.

Liz is an experienced digital artist and designer with expert knowledge using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. She has upskilled in After Effects after completing a course with School of Motion, and is applying those skills to animate trailers, digital storybooks, lyric videos, and more.

She lives in Miami with her husband Chris, daughters R&R, and Boo the dog. She loves beach days, rainy days, art projects, cooking, and, like every Cuban-American, long walks to la ventanita for a cortadito.
