As an artist and visual designer, I move fluidly across experimental mediums, including digital and analogue painting, illustration, type lettering, hand-embossing, and creative writing, to explore imagination, dreamscape, memory, and the human experience.

Carrying my multicultural roots into my practice, I shape each idea through the medium it calls for, blending traditional, digital, and hand-rendered techniques that allow materiality to reveal the form and feeling the work is meant to take.

The result is versatile, soul-expressive visual stories that invite viewers inward, where the boundaries between self and world soften, allowing emotion, identity, and our relationship with the universe within and around us to emerge in dialogue and offer solace.

Beyond the material, my work explores unseen dimensions: the cultural threads we inherit, the symbols we gravitate toward, and the collective narratives beneath language. In this shared space, it becomes a gentle meeting point that nurtures belonging, spiritual growth, and healing.
