Creating art is how I breathe—turning pain, joy, and imagination into something real that connects, heals, and speaks when words can’t.

My favorite type of art is sequential art which revolves around anime/manga/comics and video game art.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration in the love and encouragement I’ve received throughout my life—especially from my grandmother and my mother, who always pushed me to draw and believe in my creativity. Their support, along with my passion for storytelling, everyday life, and imagination, fuels my art and keeps me creating with purpose.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d use $25,000 to launch my own creative studio, giving me a dedicated space to fully express and grow my artistry. It would go toward equipment, supplies, and building my brand, allowing me to create comics, art, and products at a higher level. More than anything, it would give me a sense of ownership—turning my passion into something real, structured, and built on my vision.
