Hello!
I’m Christine, a Filipino-American artist, illustrator & character designer from New Jersey.
I grew up finding joy in cozy library books and filling countless sketchbooks with drawings. I later graduated from Montclair State University with a BFA in Animation & Illustration.
I’ve worked on over 20 books for kids and currently illustrate picture books, including Lolo's Sari-Sari Store and Box of Dreams!
I believe in the power of storytelling and the way art gives us a voice. I love illustrating stories about creativity, culture, and family. I’m now creating art in Houston, TX.
