“Planning For End-Of-Life Care Is More Crucial Than Ever. Here’s How” for @npr , with progress snaps and one of many paper model photos. A million thanks to my AD @mererizzo for the opportunity, and for the chance to put some birds on it 🕊 #illustrationartists #editorialillustration #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CCbhMcpD08m/?igshid=17r9cjd50ji1v

The man in the elevator... A long time ago I read an upperclassman’s short story, where the main character begins to eavesdrop on a man’s phone conversations and realizes he is mysteriously impersonating many different people... I didn’t have the skill to represent it well at the time but I’m pretty satisfied with this attempt. #illustrationartists #art #editorialillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/B7bsCO1D_FN/?igshid=1u4dlgkwinyod

Was inspired by @rovinacai ‘s #bestnineofthedecade and wanted to make one too! I remember feeling super lost during my school days, but seeing the slow and steady progress motivates me to keep working hard to continue exploring, improving, and being inspired by others ^^ #artistsoninstagram #bestnine2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vzvE7DRkX/?igshid=x079uuf8e3m0

2019 was an interesting year - experimented with making merch, made so many fun memories with friends, and lost my job (in hindsight, one of the best things that happened this year lol). Looking forward to freely exploring uncharted waters in 2020, and also breaking in my new day planner ✨ #illustration #artof2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/B6lk2w8jz5t/?igshid=m7l0us9g0jv6

An old work from my school days. All throughout college I was really struggling to find my artistic voice, and then came this assignment, "The Impossible Project". We brainstormed words to describe every student's work, and my word was "feminine". I then had to create a piece which was the exact opposite of what people expected, but still recognizable as my own. I was really nervous - I'd never really drawn anything remotely macho up to that point and was unsure how to. But looking back, I think this is still one of my best works ever. When you take a leap past the limits you've set for yourself, maybe you'll be surprised by your capabilities. ✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/B1we8UgAhoz/?igshid=1gk8i7t3ufrsq
