Throughout my life, I’ve been practicing my skills across the US and across the sea; I lived in Los Angeles County for seventeen years before attending the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts. Braving the cold weather, I learned more skills before eventually being accepted into a study abroad at Ritsumeikan University in Ibaraki, Osaka Prefecture, Japan.

Aside from making art, I enjoy cooking and wandering in cities during my spare time, hence the website’s background (If you correctly guess what city is used, you’ll get a free cookie).
