I’m an artist and writer who loves to make art in all sorts of forms. I love character illustration, abstract painting, portrait painting, crocheting, tufting, spinning fiber, you name it.

I was born in Seoul and have also lived in Hong Kong, Los Angeles, New York, and Boston. Having grown up moving across several countries and traveling to even more, I love to tell stories of diverse viewpoints and intersectionality my writing and art. I’m fascinated by nature and frequently draw inspiration from its many aspects - flora, fauna, wind, water, and space.

I am currently based in Boston where I live with my husband and domestic blizzard (dog).
