I’m a Chinese American illustrator who grew up in the bay area and is currently residing in San Francisco. I got into art by being chronically online in the late 2000s, so anime fanart on Deviantart and digital communities like Neopets are embedded in my inspiration. My style draws on bright, super-saturated colors that invoke play, comfort, and often depict figures interacting with each other or the spaces they occupy. The mediums I use stretch across gouache painting, digital illustration, polymer clay makes, animation, and outdoor murals.
I’ve done freelance for Partiful, EP art for Oddity, and murals in local communities for The Plant Lady SF for the Ocean Ave Art Walk 2024, and The Korner Store, as a part of the Excelsior Art Initiative. I’ve also done art direction for Art of the Bay’s Summer Stack annual pop ups in Hayward.
My original paintings has been featured and sold in multiple art shows (Helvella Gallery in Oakland, Chunky in Los Angeles, Sour Cherry Comics in San Francisco). For stickers, prints, and handmade earrings, I sell in small batches at local markets and on my online shop here, but you can find a small selection of my stickers stocked at Maido in Japantown, SF.
