PAUPAU

artist/ designer aka doodler

I am a doodler with over 16 years of experience.  Everything from packaging design, to exhibition, branding, information design, photography, web, greeting cards, and ux/ui design.

​

Art and design have brought opportunities that I could never imagined. As a child, I remember my first drawing of the ninja turtles and thinking I could draw them over and over (which I did) and learned a new skill in each drawing. I challenged myself daily on my craftsmanship, it became a way of expressing myself....and then it all came to a stop. My love for drawing took a back seat as I had to leave my desires of a pencil and my sketch book, and began my adventures to the USA. At the tender age of 9, I left the comfort of my home, and as the oldest daughter of a single working immigrant mother, I focused solely on my studies, making sure I could acclimate to a new culture, learn the language (proudly learning my ABCs in English through Barney) be educated and dream bigger than my mother had ever desired for my sister and I. As a first-generation college graduate, I endured many sacrifices in which resulted in being accepted to tops schools, however my passion for art/design created a path in which for many was hard to understand as I made the difficult decision to continue my education and pursued a degree at an art school with a freshly new program of graphic design. My mother was my biggest supporter and to the present day, continues to support my dreams. As I look back at the sacrifices my mother made, I realized now as a mother of 2, what it takes to put my kids first. My girls are my biggest inspirations, I thrive in creating content that inspires and motivates individuals. Doodling with mommy is our favorite activity.

My doodles have given me opportunities to travel to many countries, eat lots of food, immerse myself into other cultures, and dance the night away.  Over the years and upon meeting my husband, I have found another passion in landscaping and interior design that transformed my backyard from a pile of dirt to my own oasis. I live for the art of making things beautiful, functional, and overall to create a moment to capture.
