As many artists would probably say, I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, stacks of crayon dragons and puppies still occupying the corners of my basement to this day. Always in love with cartoons, comics, and children's books, I spent many afternoons drawing on the living room floor to the adventures of Batman or the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles while creating my own adventurous tales.

​

In my college years at Washington University in St. Louis, I really began​ to focus on my style and and methodology. Drawing from my Asian heritage as well as my love of the plush shapes and deliberate absurdity of 1930's cartoons, I worked to pair the two for my thesis: an illustrated book of selected Korean animal folktales, a piece I truly loved working on that proved to be a jumping off point for a number of future projects.

​

Since then, I have had the opportunity to create children's books for the St. Louis Cardinals, Build-A-Bear Workshop, Centene Corporation, a coloring book for The St. Louis Symphony, a t-shirt design for CryptTV, nail wrap designs for Espionage Cosmetics, product designs for Dr. Brown, as well as various commissioned pieces, personal projects and more!
