Hello! I’m Em, an illustrator and storyteller based in Southern California, currently pursuing my BFA in Illustration at the Laguna College of Art and Design.

My love for storytelling is deeply influenced by the natural, organic parts of the world, which I bring into my work through warm, spontaneous illustrations with an attention to detail. My journey into art began in 4th grade when I started taking formal lessons in my neighbor’s garage, and I’ve been inspired by animation and freelance illustrators ever since. I’m passionate about art education and all things illustration. I’m available and looking forward to any freelance projects and educational opportunities.

When I’m not creating, you can find me experimenting in the kitchen, learning about fashion, or listening to music. I’m always eager to connect and meet new people, so feel free to reach out via email or on LinkedIn!
