About Me

          I studied at California State University, Long Beach, and received my BFA in Illustration/Animation. I am an aspiring concept artist, producer, or illustrator. I like to cater my portfolio and skills to character design, illustration, and environmental art. Through intensive studies in anatomy, figure drawing, perspective, and color theory, I developed a semi-realistic art style. During my creative process, I carefully choose color palettes to best reflect the personalities of my characters, the design of their props, and the tone of their environments. Moreover, in the spring of 2023, I was the producer for the "Limited Edition" student gallery held at CSULB; in this gallery, the students showcased their portfolios to guests, educators, and recruiters. As the producer, I managed a team of over 40 students to organize the theme, fundraisers, and layout of the gallery. The gallery had an excellent turnout and my portfolio was featured on the CSULB School of Art official Instagram, @csulb_schoolofart. Through this experience, I developed strong collaborative leadership and interpersonal communication skills. As a result, I work effectively with others to foster a supportive and productive environment for meaningful collaboration.

         As a specialist at Apple Retail, I assist thousands of customers per quarter by providing the best recommendations based on their needs. I maintain the visuals according to Apple standards in between customer interactions. Furthermore, I manage foot traffic by scheduling reservations at the Genius Bar for technical support, enrolling customers in Today at Apple learning sessions, or pairing them with a specialist for sales. In this role, I am gaining valuable coordination experience and utilize my problem solving skills by addressing inefficiencies within the establishment.

          When I am not working or drawing, I can be found spending time with my friends and family, watching my favorite shows, or playing story-based video games. I use Discord almost "religiously" to keep in touch with friends and search for resources to further my development as an artist or a producer. I am a huge fan of EDM, always in search of shows featuring my favorite artists such as ODESZA, Deadmau5, and Kx5.
