Born and raised in Southern California, and currently residing in Irvine, I became interested in art at an early age when I visited an art gallery where my father worked. I enjoyed drawing and creating different things from that point onwards.
This led me to an interest in photography and ultimately into the field of design. 

A few projects that I created have won awards; for example, a piece for Orange County Creates won Best in Show as part of a juried photography exhibit. Other projects have showcased my different experiences in other media, including infographics, online advertising, and print collateral for various companies. 

In my time off, I am an avid explorer of my surroundings. I enjoy hiking, photographing different areas, and being out in nature. I also like baking and cooking and listening to alternative music including punk rock, electronic, and indie, and I am an animal lover who takes care of my friends’ cats and dogs when they go on vacation.
