hi, I’m
Illustrator & Designer
!
I am a self-taught artist based in Boston, working primarily in illustration and visual storytelling.
While I’ve drawn for as long as I could hold a pencil, my art career began at 13 years old, when I started drawing custom pet portraits under the shop name Louie + Co Designs, (inspired by my own dog, Louie!). What began as a little passion project has since evolved into my illustrative practice today.
While dogs still remain at the heart of my work, I find much of my inspiration through sweet, everyday moments, memoirs, and nostalgic scenes. I work across illustration, comics, and short-form animation, and am especially passionate in using storytelling as a means of exploring identity. I am most drawn to personal narratives and how they can serve as a lens to explore the broader experiences that make us human. Through my work, I hope to tell stories that spark empathy and invite new conversations.
Currently, I’m a fourth-year undergraduate student at Boston College studying a double major in marketing and studio art.
When I’m not drawing, you can usually find me going on long walks, cafe hopping, shopping, or catching up with the latest K-drama!
