About the Artist

I create artworks that are cozy with warmth and creativity. Through deep understanding, I create bespoke spot illustrations and cover artworks that resonate deeply with my clients on a personal level. Themes of romance, relationships, and personal growth are some of the topics I explore with my art. Emotions, culture, and nostalgia are some elements that fuel my creativity.Outside my work for clients, I manage my own brand and sell my own products at conventions and art markets. In my free time, I like to study Japanese, watch Shoujo anime, or quickly play Valorant.
