hello, i'm hailey (she/her). i'm an illustrator/zinester exploring different media to get in touch with my creative self, as i navigate the ups and downs of adulthood. i've nursed my passion for illustration ever since i could hold a pencil, and i have also been sharing my artwork with the world via instagram since 2017. these days i’m inspired by cool outfits, my experiences as an asian american, and making whatever i want to exist. when i'm not drawing, i can be found playing with my original characters like dress-up dolls, watching fish filleting videos, or taking a nap.

past events: los angeles zine fest 2025, mayumi market golden hour 2025, kanto corner 2025, san diego zine fest 2025, short run comix festival 2025, little tokyo zine fest 2026, heavy manners zine fair 2026, los angeles queer zine fest 2026.
