I am a Chinese-Canadian illustrator based in Cambridge, Ontario. I love creating fun illustrations using a mix of digital collage and traditional textures, drawing on my interests in animals and cultural mythologies to inspire my work. I am passionate about children's books, public art, and packaging design. I developed my practice at Sheridan College, where I earned an Honours Bachelor of Illustration. I strive to create inclusive artwork that resonates with people from different walks of life and to bring vibrancy to public art and publishing.
