Illustration has been my passion and driving force since the beginning of my artistic journey, serving as the cornerstone of my career and the foundation of my small business. Since 2005, I've been a fixture at comic and pop culture conventions, leveraging these platforms to showcase my work. Recently, I've also participated in makers markets to broaden my audience. In 2019, I established my small art business, specializing in mini art prints, stickers, and original stories. Additionally, I've utilized my illustrations to support various social causes close to my heart, seamlessly blending them with graphic design to produce unique artwork. I've also collaborated with esteemed partners, producing illustrative works that have garnered recognition, including an award-winning poster (shown below) for Zumiez titled "The Power is in Our Hands," which received widespread acclaim and was prominently featured in their stores nationwide and projected onto buildings in major cities. It is because of these partnerships, attending events, and showcasing my work across social media, my small business has achieved steady expansion, experiencing business growth of more than tenfold over the course of five years. Continuously driven by my passion for illustration, I remain committed to exploring new avenues and pushing the boundaries of my craft.
