Creative Consultations
My path
As a child of immigrants growing up in the Midwest during the 1990’s, I didn’t have a lot of resources after I decided I wanted a career in the arts. While many of my friends had supportive parents, mine weren’t very thrilled about the prospect of a ‘starving artist’ lifestyle for their daughter. Since I excelled in other areas of academics, they have tried to persuade me to find an alternative career (even to this day!).
Throughout my journey, I’ve experienced a lot! I have:
headed the artistic recruiting team at Cartoon Network Studios
studied film (at USC) and illustration (at Art Center College of Design)
interned at DreamWorks Animation and the Walt Disney Company
co-founded Motivarti, a mentorship company
freelanced as a paper artist
created pop-up cards for manufacturing and invitations
signed with a literary agent
published children’s books
worked on toy packaging
tabled at conventions
exhibited in galleries
filed paper work to incorporate
became a mom
and more!

60 min session: Recommended if you want an in-depth discussion about multiple topics.
If you’re unsure about which length to pick, reach out to me and ask! You can explain your situation and questions. Then I can advise you on the best option. Or you can book a shorter length and a second session later if you choose.
