My name is Mina. I’m a 22-year-old illustrator, designer, and writer currently studying illustration at Rhode Island School of Design. I was born in California and raised in Singapore from the age of twelve, which has beautifully confused my sense of home. Ask me about my baby blanket (my best and longest friend) or my favorite book (as of late, Twigs and Knucklebones by Sarah Lindsay).

As an illustrator, I am obsessed with leveraging legibility and encoding meaning into everything I touch. As a writer, I love leaning into all things frightening, vulnerable, and quietly poetic. My work in all disciplines addresses themes of femininity, gentleness, rage, grief, and the humor to be found in everything. When I’m not in studio watercoloring like my life depends on it, you can find me rearranging the furniture in my room (for the hundredth time) or daydreaming about horses.
