Hello!

Cyndi is open to illustrating Board Books, Picture Books, Chapter Books, IP, and Non-fiction. She is also available for licensing and visual development work.

Cyndi is a Filipino illustrator, character designer, writer, and educator. At a young age, she fell in love with stories and the beautiful illustrations found in books. This sparked a dream of illustrating and writing children’s books.

Dreams do come true, and she is blessed to be represented by Jemiscoe Chambers- Black of Starling Literary +Media.

Cyndi illustrated the #1 New York Times Bestseller, The Superpower Sisterhood, written by Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush (Little Brown Young Readers).She loves to illustrate stories about the amazing things children can do and heartwarming stories that bring wonder and joy to everyday life.

When not working, she goes on nature walks, hunts for the best tasting tacos, and doodles on her sketchbook. She is an admirer of animation, captivating stories, adorable cats and dogs, sunflowers, and vintage books and homes. She is a life-long learner and is inspired by the extraordinary people who make this world a better place.

Thank you for visiting!


Cyndi is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), SCBWI, SCBWI SoCal Illustrators and Writers, and Women in Animation.
