My lifelong passion for illustration and visual storytelling began with the classic cartoons and cult films of my childhood. Throughout my education, I developed my understanding of contemporary digital practices and critical theories, and now hold a Master’s degree in Visual Communication. My influences range from childhood nostalgia, to classic manga, and more modern aesthetics of the digital age. I have illustrated for Sony Computer Entertainment, collaborated with Meiji University in Tokyo, and exhibited in London and Los Angeles.…My lifelong passion for illustration and visual storytelling began with the classic cartoons and cult films of my childhood.
