I am a largely self-taught artist who works in different media, traditional and digital. In 2024 I won the San Diego SCBWI chapter’s “Own Voices” Grant for Best Illustrator. In 2020 I received the San Diego SCBWI Diversity Award for Best Emerging Artist. In 2023 I won an author-illustrator mentorship with PBRisingStars. Also in 2023 I was awarded the Florence Tan Moesen Fellowship by the Library of Congress, in Washington DC, to conduct research in its Asian archives for a picture book biography project. This manuscript was accepted to the 2024 Big Sur Writers’ Workshop in Monterey, California. I am a picture book nerd currently seeking representation.
