During her studies, she completed an exchange programme at ABABO in Bologna, Italy. She enjoys observing her surroundings and documenting them through drawing. Her practice spans book illustration, printmaking, zines, and comics, and thematically explores speculative fiction, pseudo sci-fi, atmospheric world-building, and social commentary.
