Education and work

After graduating from Dawson College in 3D animation in 2012,[3] she began work at BioWare as a Junior Concept Artist where she worked briefly on designs for Mass Effect: Andromeda. She participated in various art and comic conventions, including the Anime Expo in Los Angeles, and is a regular artist at both Anime North and Fan Expo Canada in Toronto. In 2017, she attended the Singapore Toy Game and Comic Convention (STGCC) as a guest artist.[4] Currently, she makes most of her income from creating both original and fan-based work and tutorials on Patreon.[5] In 2019, she started a sponsor page for Chinese fans.[6]

Some of her fan art pieces include genderbends, where a male character is redesigned as a female character or vice versa.[7]
