Hi! I am a papercut artist based in a tiny home studio in Chicago and a radio dj for 107.1FM.
All my designs are drawn and cut by hand using a small precision knife with innumerable tiny little blades. Some of my ready-made cut-art are available for purchase at Paperhugger Studio.

As an illustrator, most of my past works (a regular comic strip and a substantial number of political cartoons) have appeared in The Manila Collegian. I also experiment with watercolors and acrylics to compose mixed media pieces.
As a DJ for 107.1FM in Chicago, I get to share diverse music to a fun audience every Saturday 9pm CST and check out new releases from independent artists.
I also created “Serial CHIRPs,” the official online newsletter of CHIRP Radio that has allowed for more discovery of local events, organizations, and other proudly Chicagoan stuff to our music-loving subscribers.
You can support independent music and independent radio wherever you are!
