Sketchbook doodles
Outside from my full time job, I also love doodling in my sketchbook. I love drawing places, nature, people, objects, and food from everyday life and my travels. My art sketchbooks are my most prized possessions :) I’m a firm believer that art should be fun and enjoyable and a way to express yourself…hence, no such thing as being “bad at drawing”.

Racial Trauma Care Package, Empower Lab at Georgia State
In June 2020, The Plot Twisters team and I worked with Dr. Isha Metzger of The EMPOWER Lab at Georgia State University, a clinical psychology lab focusing on bringing trauma-focused cognitive-based therapy (TF-CBT) resources to Black youth in the U.S. Our team created an interactive cartoon website world with illustrations where someone can walk through interactive videos on psycho-education, mindfulness, relaxation. These topics are shown through a neighborhood map where each location covers a topic related to cognitive-behavioral therapy and racial trauma. The final result is a live website in progress and for this project, I specifically worked on sketching the illustrations of the neighborhood and various locations. You can learn more about this project here.
