about me

Hi! My name is Melissa and I was born in Southeast Asia before being adopted and moving to the U.S. I grew up most of the time in central California and am based in San Diego, California. That said, I’ve also lived in  Germany, Japan, Washington, and Oklahoma.

I’m a survivor of childhood sexual abuse as well as domestic violence. I enjoy creating fantasy based artwork and bring parts of both myself and the hobbies I love (such as D&D, Star Wars, etc.) into each piece. 

This shop contains artwork I’ve designed as well as a collection of curated things that make me smile (science fantasy, gaming, etc.). I run this store and my web design business full time.

When not working I love spending time with my goofy daughter, reading, playing table top games with friends, and exploring museums.
