Available to hire
Hi! I’m Karen Wang, a detail-oriented and highly organized illustrator with a passion for arts, education, and producing high-quality work. I love learning new things, adapting quickly, and always putting my best foot forward. Whether working independently or as part of a diverse team, I strive to meet tight deadlines in fast-paced environments.
Outside of illustration, I’ve gained valuable experience in customer service, photography, and event support. I enjoy creating engaging graphics and videos for social media and have a strong background in dance, which has taught me discipline and dedication over many years.
