Through ink, watercolor, and 2D animation, she explores the intersection of commerce and culture. Her work often serves as an archive, capturing the facades of places that no longer exist. From local streets to international tables, she has illustrated for iconic restaurants like Bungalow in New York City and Jhol in Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links
