It's like bingo,
but with a 'j'

I’m a commercial illustrator, art educator, and reluctant cat lover. I was born and raised in the beautiful islands of the Philippines and now call the lovely city of Indianapolis, IN my home. Like many of my peers, I’ve been drawing since I was knee-high and haven’t stopped since.

When I’m not making art, you'll find me enjoying a beverage at a local coffee shop (my current favorites: Tinker Coffee, Calvin Fletcher's Coffee Company, and Bovaconti), cheering on my beloved Pacers and Colts, and hanging out with my wife and daughter.
