Born 1992, I started drawing in 2003. Throughout high school I continued to refine and develop my skills, adding Photoshop Elements and digital artwork to the mix in 2006. Thanks to my first scanner, received in 2007 and paired with Manga Studio somewhere near there, digital art became more of a focus.

Heavily influenced by Anime and Manga (I also took Japanese as my language of choice throughout all 13 years of schooling), I finally made my first comic for my HSC Major Work in Visual Art in 2010.

I moved to Melbourne in 2011 after being accepted into Monash University to study Visual Arts, and continued to go on and major in Interdisciplinary Design until the end of 2012 where conflicts with the teacher and a looming graduation prompted me to transfer into Visual Communication for 2013.
