My work explores culture, anatomy, and human sentiments through hand-cut paper. All my designs are drawn and cut by hand using a small precision knife with innumerable tiny little blades.

When I’m not in the studio, I host a radio show Saturday nights on Chicago’s 107.1FM. Before papercutting, I drew political cartoons and a regular comic strip for The Manila Collegian; that same instinct for image and commentary is still what drives my work today.

I also experiment with watercolors and acrylics to compose mixed media pieces.
