Biography

Hi! My name is Peggy. I'm a Bay Area local artist who originally came from Taiwan. After graduating from San Jose State with a BFA degree in animation with an interest in visual development, I started my career in freelancing illustration. For the past two years, I have worked on projects relating to prop design, background painting, board game, and fashion illustrations. My ultimate goal is becoming a visual development artist or background painter for TV/feature.
