about the useful ot

Hi! I’m a preschool occupational therapist and clipartist who has a passion for digital illustration. In addition, I love all things crafty-anything that allows me to be creative, I’m all in! My journey into digital illustration began in 2020 and I continue to enjoy exploring new ways to create art.

How was The Useful OT born?

A simple conversation with my dear friend, Kelly @ Speaking of Images was all it took to strike the idea. Kelly offers an amazing library of images for educators to use in their resources and social media. In our discussion, there were teachers interested in kid-style drawings, but they could not readily find this type of clipart to use in their resources. As I was researching, I too was struggling to find kid-style drawings in the form of clipart, therefore The Useful OT was born! It’s been wonderful hearing from educators how much time has been saved by using the drawings in their resources. Check out some of the wonderful uses my drawings have been used in educator’s products and social media posts!
