Creating art is something that has come naturally to humans throughout the millennia. It’s a healing ritual passed down through the ages.

My favorite type of art to create is anything that draws people into new stories. My dream is to create interactive experiences for all humans to feel immersed in art. Whether that be in exhibits open to the public, or independently published video games.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature, in my multicultural upbringing, in my relationships and community.
What would you do with $25,000?If I had $25,000, I’d be able to invest in my future as an artist. I’d be able to create more consistently, learn the skills I need, and realize larger visions and projects that can connect with more people.
