Born in the Eastern United States, when I first picked up comics and manga at a young age, my world became hooked onto the arts, storytelling, and the worlds they built. What began with picture books and character bios turned into simple doodles between friends and family, which later turned into the burning desire to share visualized stories, characters and worlds to a much wider audience in dreams that many individuals may enjoy and be inspired as I was.

As I grew older, I began to hone my skills from typical sketches to pen and ink, color pencils, and screen tones, using this medium as the focus of my high school years up to my senior project and to enter Kodansha’s Morning International Comic Competition at age 17. That project was the launch pad I used to further my professional career in Illustration. I attended my Alma Mater, Academy of Art University, where I my skills developed into a vast array of genres including graphic novels and other forms of sequential art, styles with great influence from amazing illustrators such as Yoshitaka Amano, Claire Wendling, Edwin Georgi, and Akiko Higashimura, and tools containing additional traditional mediums such as charcoal, acrylic, marker, and pastel pencils, and inclusion of digital medium.

Having dedicated time and effort into my work as an Illustrator and in writing, language and world building, I seek to showcase my work at last to you, one of the many with whom I want the share them with.
