Profile

I am a Japanese Canadian illustrator and webcomic creator who loves to tell stories of sincerity that speak to the heart. My focus is on narrative illustration through webcomics and graphic novels. I am drawn to gentle color schemes, detailed linework, and watercolors. I especially enjoy incorporating my Japanese heritage into my art. By sharing my stories and illustrations, my hope is for you to feel comfort in knowing that you are not alone.
