Additional Information

I'm a 22 year old Chinese-American game art student from the DMV area (DC, Maryland, Virginia). I currently live in southern California for schooling, career, and networking opportunities. Art schooling wise, I went to LCAD for 2 years, Brainstorm for one and a half years, and am currently taking an illustration mentorship through CGVerse. I have learned how to use Photoshop, Blender, 3DS Max, Substance Painter, Marmoset, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Medium and Unity.


People would describe me as an open and outgoing person who isn't afraid to share their thoughts and ask questions. I enjoy working with a team, receiving and giving critiques, because I think having multiple perspectives is not only fun but beneficial to improving ones art. Having set deadlines or authority figures monitoring my work makes me more productive.


I gravitate towards drawing beautiful women but am open to expanding my breath of work. My main priority is the ability to paint, because I enjoy painting more than anything else.
