Hello! I'm an illustrator slash graphic designer that currently resides in the Greater Los Angeles Area. In 2017 I graduated from California State University, Long Beach with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration.
From my earliest memories of childhood, I was surrounded and exposed to art dominated from two cultures, the west and the east. This lead to a passion for drawing and an interest to pursue a career in the visual arts.
Experienced with illustration, graphic design, and pre-press, I am interested in telling stories and providing identities. I am influenced by the world around me, but especially by the diverse cultures that I get to experience as well as all the unique people that I get the pleasure of getting to know.
