I am a Visual Development and Concept artist located in Pasadena, CA.

I specialize in environment and prop design, using visual storytelling to bring narratives to lif! My focus is on creating immersive worlds and environments that enhance the story. I’m passionate about researching cultures and history, as they inspire and inform my creative process.

I’m a huge fan of both animation and video games, and I truly enjoy exploring every genre, even in my art work. One minute, I’m swept up in a colorful, heartwarming animation, getting a little teary-eyed, and the next, I’m fully immersed in a dark, intense storyline. The same goes for gaming—my taste can flip from lighthearted fun to gripping, dark narratives in the blink of an eye?

-How I got into the Art World-

I’ve seen us, adults burdened by life’s responsibilities, stuck in a routine. But one day, I witnessed a miracle: a person who always seemed unhappy suddenly lit up, smiling like a child, just from playing video games!! It reminded me of the joy animation brought me as a child—and later, during a long hospital stay, when it became my refuge, offering comfort and joy when I needed it most. That’s when I realized the power of art to heal and evoke emotion. My mission is to share and present all those special moments through my work and bring out the childlike joy in all of us!! And that’s how I ended up here :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to read through all of this—I truly appreciate it! I’d be excited to connect and get to know you as well. If you’d like to explore my journey further, collaborate, or have me join yours, feel free to reach out anytime :)
