I'm a tiny busy bee who enjoys illustrating for book covers, graphic novels, collaborative zines, and commissions. At the heart of my work is vibrant diverse storytelling of romance and magic. It is my dream to bring relatable queer Filipino protagonists into the graphic novel world.
In my rare free time, I can be found hacking away at my original comic drafts, hyperfixating on a new manga or craft hobby, or discovering new cozy cafes with my partner.
