About
Hi! I'm Kai, a multi-media artist. I dabble in digital art, 3D sculpting, ceramics, acrylics, oil, watercolor, graphite, ink, and more!
I come from a single-parent household and am part of the LGBTQ+ community and am part of the lower middle class.
I hope to pursue a career in art in college in a cost-effective way. Later in life, I hope to inspire others to advocate for themselves in their education, jobs, lives, and careers.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I'm interested in interning at a small indie game/art company and shadow their work ethic. Eventually, I'd like to create illustrations that are able to represent a franchise's message or story. (E.G. video game cover art or an official scene of the story posted on social media).
- Graduate school interests
I plan to pursue internships within several different art and/or game companies. I may also aim to take classes to receive a Master's degree in my current major.
- Outside the classroom
I absolutely love so many different forms of art-making, including (but not limited to):
- Ceramics
- Scrapbooking
- Drawing/Sketching
- Painting
- Digital Editing
- Inking
...and more!I also enjoy reading YA/romance comics and manga, having philosophical conversations, and communicating with new people.
