Redbubble Collections

02

My Redbubble shop is where a lot of my personal illustrations are applied to various pieces of merchandise such as shirts, stickers, hats, etc. and sold to the public. I update the shop with monthly collections that consist of multiple illustrations under one theme. I also dabble in some pattern-making in these collections that are usually applied to bags, blankets, journals, etc.

Can’t You See I’m Not White

03

As a person of color, I already stand out in a white dominated society. But connecting with my own people has always been a struggle because they often view me as whitewashed. Whitewashing not only makes people of color feel isolated, but it also prevents us from creating a proper safe space for people of color. In order to bring more awareness to this issue, I created this zine in the hopes that people like me will hear my story and know that they aren't alone. We all deserve a safe space among our people after all.

Using my illustration and typography skills, I create pieces of expressive type. These pieces can consist of quotes and music lyrics that resonated with me, or sudden thoughts that come to mind.
