From an early age, I’ve always been drawn to making things. Growing up in the Philippines surrounded by relatives in carpentry and construction, I learned early on from my uncles to be crafty and make the best out of what you have. I moved to the U.S. at 16 years old with my parents, and art became my way of holding onto my identity and sense of home.

I pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I wanted to build worlds for my art, which led me to 3D modeling, UX design, and eventually assistant teaching at a design bootcamp.

Since graduating in 2021, I’ve worked in visual design while finding my way back to art with a new purpose: creating experiences that bring people together. I strive to create work that uplifts BIPOC communities and fosters intersectional spaces through shared knowledge and accessibility.
