Hello there! I am an introverted artist and illustrator who is secretly eager to tell my stories. Graduating from a psychology background and having one year of experience in the study of art therapy, I believe that art and stories are powerful healing tools to everyone. 

I’m especially interested in children’s book illustration. My aim is to use my stories and work to create “comfort nuggets” that everyone can enjoy. My favorite children’s book is One by Kathryn Otoshi. I’m always amazed at how simple illustrations and stories could convey such deep meanings that are easy for children to understand.

I love making both digital and traditional art, and I’m still experimenting with different new mediums everyday. My other interests include gaming, eating, sleeping, and petting cats.(So yes, I am basically a goblin when I’m not working :))
