i'm motivated by xiaolumi and spite.

past experience

i’ve modded for one zine, and have contributed to a variety of zines across multiple fandoms. this will be my third genshin zine! outside of zines, my job is all about project management so i’m familiar with overseeing a team and making sure everything runs.

i run off caffeine and i draw a lot of ship art, i'm not sorry for it.

past experience

this is my third time art modding, but i’ve contributed art to around 5 zines. i like modding, it’s really exciting seeing the creation process and looking at all the pretty work that's submitted!
