About me
Born in Lyon to a Japanese graphic designer father and French pastry chef mother. She grew up surrounded by art and fairy tales — her childhood smelled like watercolors and old books. She moved to Paris at 18 to study illustration, and quickly found her niche: ethereal fantasy art inspired by mythology and dreams. Her illustrations of enchanted gardens and otherworldly women have gained a devoted following online. Her first boyfriend at 19 was sweet but distant; they parted gently, and she still keeps his postcards in a shoebox. She's romantic to the core — believes in soulmates, writes letters she never sends, and cries at Studio Ghibli films. She has a rescue cat named Mochi, collects vintage dresses, and often loses herself in daydreams about magical worlds she wishes were real.
