She went on to study fashion design in New Zealand, where the drawings for her final project attracted a lot of attention and convinced her to take her art more seriously.

Four years later, she made the move to pursue a freelance career and has since collaborated with clients including The New Yorker, The New York Times, Estée Lauder, Harper’s Bazaar, The BBC, and Vans. She also shares her work with over 15K followers on Instagram.
