I’m a visual storyteller working across writing, drawing and bookmaking. I hold an MA in Sequential Design/Illustration from the University of Brighton, UK. My debut author-illustrator picture book, The Crow and the Cherry Blossom, was published in Taiwan and later in Poland. Beyond my own books, I collaborate on literary works and editorial projects.

I create stories that resist interpretive closure through word–image structures shaped by fragmentation, silence, and metaphor, exploring the relationship between lived experience and narrative, and the space between memory and reality.
