Like many kids growing up in the '90s, I was captivated by the world of Pokémon, Digimon, and Sailor Moon. These stories didn’t just entertain me—they sparked a lifelong love for visual storytelling. I started drawing wherever I could—on scraps of paper, notebooks, and anything I could get my hands on. 
 

My first real digital art experience came thanks to my inspirational Uncle Dru, who let me experiment with Microsoft Paint on his computer. Years later, he generously supported me again—this time with his financial support, I bought a laptop and a different Wacom tablet. At first, I struggled with digital tools and set them aside. But everything changed when I discovered the online art community of DeviantART and upgraded to a screen tablet. Finally, I could draw digitally the way I had always imagined—and I haven’t stopped since. During my years of drawing and exploration, I fell in love with anime which had inspired me to draw in the anime style for my first commissions.
 

Today, I work with tools like the iPad mini and Huion tablets, creating art that blends my love for Japanese anime aesthetics with my passion for education. Whether I’m illustrating kidlit stories, designing surface patterns, or leading workshops, my mission is to support students in discovering their creative voice through digital art. I actively collaborate with schools, galleries, and companies to integrate digital illustration into classrooms and learning environments—empowering the next generation of artists and storytellers.
