What would you be if you were not an illustrator?

If I weren’t an illustrator, my passion for animals especially cats, would likely lead me to explore a career in feline care and welfare, I adore cats and their unique personalities and I’d find joy in dedicating my time to their well-being, whether through rescue, adoption or specialized care, this way, I could make a positive impact on the lives of these wonderful creatures.

Tell us a little about your work process.

I start with searching for inspiration, often diving into various sources to spark creativity. Once I’ve found an idea that resonates with me, I start sketching it out on paper, refining the concept as I go, after multiple drafts and revisions, I bring the idea to life, crafting the final illustration with care and attention to detail, this journey from inspiration to sketching to the finished product is where my art takes shape. 

If you get one hour to do whatever you like, what would that be?

If I had one hour, I would spend it immersed in world of anime, reading comics.

I might choose to get into new adventure, perhaps trying a new hoppy or activity 

that I’ve been curious about. 

Give us a guided tour of your work desk.

I’d love to show you around my desk which is located close to a balcony where I enjoy listening to birds, you’ll see some cool figures of my favorite animated characters, along with souvenirs I’ve picked up from my travels, they all make my workspace feel cozy and remind me of places I’ve been.
