ABOUT ME!
I’m a multidisciplinary artist, storyteller, performer, model, cosplayer, Chief Creative Officer of a talent agency, and online creator—because who says a girl can’t do it all?
I’ve been building worlds and telling stories since I was a kid, and now I bring that same passion into everything I do—whether it’s painting, performing, or connecting with an online audience. I blend hands-on artistry with big-picture thinking, showing up in every space with hustle and heart.
From murals and merch to character design and cosplay, my work is rooted in bold expression, visual identity, and pure imagination. I have so many interests and passions and going to an Art Center College of Design has allowed me to focus on my love from a young age, cartoons and animation.
So here's my art. Look around and enjoy.
I’m here to create, to disrupt, and to make space for girls like me to do everything—loudly and unapologetically.
