Born to Filipino parents in New Zealand, I was raised as a kiwi in humble suburbs in Hamilton via Wellington. Growing an early affinity to cartoons and comic books, I have been drawing for as long as I can remember, tracing and copying VHS cases of Space Jam and Rugrats until I could draw them all from memory. Since then, I have developed illustration skills specializing in digital painting/drawing.

​

I am a product of pop culture from the late 90's and early 2000's. I embraced it all, Nu-metal, skate culture, pro wrestling, as well as the comics and cartoons of the time. All influential to the art and content I enjoy making to this day.

​

My aim as an artist is to communicate important yet innovative ideas in a fun and entertaining way. Comics, cartoons and games have presented me with different ways to interpret life and its struggles and joys, getting me through some of my most difficult times, and I wish to impact audiences in the same positive manner with my art.

​

I developed knowledge for digital media, studying Digital Animation and Video at Yoobee receiving a Diploma, and later a Degree in Animation from Animation College in Auckland. During my studies, I participated in charity events like Special Children's Christmas [Annually at ASB Showgrounds] where I would draw portraits of children and their loved ones.
