About Me ✩

A woman with long dark hair, wearing a yellow top and a wristwatch, smiling and sitting at a wooden table in a cozy cafe with plants, artwork, and a large window allowing natural light.

I started drawing to make sense of the world and never really stopped.

What began as quiet sketches has grown into a feminist practice of visual storytelling. I use illustration to centre care, challenge power, and make complex ideas feel personal. My work has supported campaigns, workshops, and research across various themes, including sexual health rights, climate justice, and decolonisation.

Beyond illustration, I work as a communications consultant and researcher, helping organisations turn research into accessible formats and build narratives rooted in justice. My work has been published, presented globally, and shaped in collaboration with movements, collectives, and UN agencies across Asia and the Pacific.

With over five years in gender and development, I bring a self-taught, politically grounded approach to storytelling as a tool for connection, strategy, and change.

Art does not just tell a story. It transforms how we listen.

Say hi!
