Bio

Inspiring Filipino artist whose work tackles themes of identity, culture, and queerness. Born and raised in Jersey City, New Jersey as a first-generation college student, I draw inspiration from my Filipino heritage, infusing art with bold storytelling. Through illustration, I challenge societal norms and shed light on the diverse experiences of the LGBTQ+ community and as a Filipino woman living in the United States. Whether through crafting children's books, editorial pieces, or comics, I seek to spark conversations, challenge perceptions, ignite imaginations, and make a meaningful impact in the world of illustration.
