HELLO!

I am Sierra, a BIPOC Maryland-based illustrator who is passionate about creating graphic novels, character design, and general visual design. I have a BFA in Illustration and Sequential Art from the Maryland Institute College of Art. I also speak intermediate-level Japanese.

I aim to create stylish visual storytelling using various traditional and digital media. I’m heavily influenced by science fiction, fantasy, and horror to capture unlikely beauty lying in both black-and-white inks and vibrant colors. During my off-time, I love playing video games, playing with my cat Tofu, and trying new food (gotta be spicy)!
