I'm a communications specialist - a writer and graphic artist for over twenty years.
This portfolio is a collection of a few of my writings and designs. The writings are from my stint as a journalist in Saipan and in Guam, and the designs are from my work on environmental campaigns in the Philippines; on sustainable cities advocacy in Asia; on voting rights and celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community in California; and on making arts accessible for all in Nevada.
I'm on a learning journey illustrating for children. I'm very thankful to have three children's books published, 'The Little Candle', 'Wasteful Emma', and 'When I Grow Up: All that I Can Be from A to Z'.
Let's make beautiful art and stories together.
