I was born in Taipei, Taiwan. I love to draw since I was a little kid and have always dreamed to be able to draw for a living someday. My parents were both teachers and very creative. Growing up, I remember going to different classes and workshops with my mom, and she was always making stuff with her hands, even until this day. They have always fostered my creativity, but at the same time, they did not want me to grow up to be a starving artist. Thus I didn't pursuit an art education until I decided to go to San Francisco in 1998. (Those three years in San Fran are among the best years of my life.) I graduated in 2001 from Academy of Art University with an MFA degree in graphic design and was hired by Hallmark Cards before my graduation. I have since lived and worked in Kansas City as a full time designer & illustrator making children's products.

I love to make and draw stuff for kids and adults alike, and I carry my sketchbook and a black marker pen with me wherever I go. I am happiest when I am doodling, creating, and learning. I am inspired by colors, organic forms, folk art, vintage children's illustrations, and objects with beautiful textures and lines.

I am truly thankful and feel so blessed to be able to draw and share my art with you. I hope my artworks will make you feel warm, happy and put a smile on your face.
