Multidisciplinary artist specializing in illustration, 2D animation, and surface design, bringing together Eastern and Western influences. Named one of UPPERCASE magazine's Top 100 Surface Pattern Designers in 2019. As an online educator, I guide over 43,000 students in digital art techniques. My expertise spans illustration, 2D animation, hand-lettering, surface design, calligraphy, and video production. Working primarily in digital media, I create detailed pieces focusing on botanical, food, and lifestyle themes, while my background in advertising and web design informs work that balances creativity with practical application. Past collaborations include Cloud9 Fabrics, MSU Broad Art Museum, UPPERCASE Magazine, and Spoonflower. Open to new projects and teaching opportunities.
