As a child, I had the incredible privilege of growing up surrounded by nature, where I spent hours exploring, chasing grasshoppers, collecting wildflowers, and observing birds and squirrels going about their day. That quiet, wonder-filled space shaped my imagination and still fuels my creative work today.

​

As a shy and introverted kid, nature felt safe and welcoming in a way the human world sometimes didn’t. Drawing and reading became the tools I used to understand life, express myself, and eventually, connect with others.

​

Now, as a full-time illustrator and creative collaborator, I bring that same curiosity, care, and sense of wonder into every project I take on. Whether I’m creating artwork for a picture book, crafting visual worlds for animation, or illustrating thoughtful campaigns for mission-driven brands, my goal is always the same: to make something heartfelt, playful, and purposeful.

​

I believe art can brighten daily life, inspire big dreams, and help kids feel empowered and seen, especially in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming.

​

When I’m not drawing, you’ll likely find me curled up with a book, wandering through my garden, discovering new corners of the world, or sipping matcha while dreaming up my next project. Nowadays I also get the incredible privilege to rediscover those same small wonders, this time with two curious little explorers and our dog right beside me.
