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, and on voting rights and celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community in California.
Now, 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.
