Hi! I'm Rachel.
I am an illustrator & designer from Vancouver, B.C.
I love to tell stories through drawing, and capture thoughts and emotions visually in a way that words cannot. I create things that combine my love of both traditional and new media.
Being a trans-national, mixed heritage migrant raised by a Japanese mother and Cantonese father, the concepts and constructs of culture, language and identity has impacted me since a young age.
As a result, my body of work tends to focus on these ideas regarding identity, and how that shapes our world and our relationships to each other.
