I was born and raised in the hustling city of San Francisco, California. Growing up, I always had an interest in the arts and the creative process. It started with the curiosity of these giant, colorful murals seen throughout the city to sketching in a notepad and then eventually, I discovered art in the digital form—graphic design.

Graphic design is a combination of thinking, problem solving, and constructing compositions that will then be used to communicate messages to a broader audience. Over the years, my passion and joy for graphic design has deepened. And in the Spring of 2022, I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts (BFA) in Graphic Design from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.

As a graphic designer and illustrator, I am often inspired by the world around me. From nature to people, art to music—almost anything can spark an idea and I am often developing and creating to my heart’s content.

When I’m not designing on a screen, you’ll find me outdoors in the sun, doodling on paper, or simply hanging out with some friends and family.
