My design process begins with my original acrylic paintings.
After completing a piece, I scan the artwork, then refine and edit the image.
These paintings often serve as the foundation for creating new designs, which I then apply to home decor accessories, clothing, and more!

Yin and yang symbolize my marriage; the airplane, my experience with immigration. The hand stands for the resilience I needed to make difficult decisions. Mount Shasta represents clarity. The window filled with stars reflects the unknown and my insecurities surrounding it. The trees with deep roots remind me that where I come from holds its own beauty. The wave evokes California and my childhood spent by the ocean. The woman swimming represents my journey through motherhood.
