Q&A

What inspired you to start creating?

I can’t even remember what got me inspired but my mom was a fashion illustrator & I grew up wanting to draw and paint just like her!

When did you start drawing?

Probably about 3 or 4?

Is art or creating your fill time gig

I work as a graphic designer & social media specialist by day. I do have an Etsy shop where I sell some of my art, but that is mostly just a fun, creative outlet for me!

What are your hobbies?

I love rollerblading, thrifting and collecting 80s and 90s toys, animal crossing, and I love the kpop group BTS

I truly feel like you and I have such a similar love for the same retro disney things. Tell me about the things you love most and how you would describe your past Disney aesthetic?

I love anything retro EPCOT  All of the older rides & characters, colors, shapes & holographic vibes are my favorite! I also love Daisy and Minnie, and any cute graphic or print I can find of them, they were my favorites as a kid

Favorite toy you had growing up?

Oh man, that’s so hard!! Probably my Barbies!

Give me 5 songs that would be the playlist to describe you

No particular order but this is probably what my brain sounds like:

1.) David Arkenstone “Papillon” (iykyk )
2.) Tears for Fears “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”
3.) Daft Punk “Digital Love”
4.) j-hope “Daydream”
5.) Grimes “Genesis”

Birthday Cake Castle or Epcot Birthday Barbie celebration?

I love both, but I have to choose Barbie’s EPCOT birthday celebration!

Tell me about colors that inspire you most

If holographic was a color, I would choose that but I really love aqua. It’s just so pretty! I also love anything pastel probably because it takes me back to that color palette that was popular in the 80s and 90s!

Favorite 90’s movie?

Hocus Pocus

Favorite store growing up?

The Disney Store

Oh gosh, I can’t really think of any? I know I do get inspired by the fashion in 80s/early 90s movies and I just want to dress like a girl going to the mall!

Peanut butter M&Ms

I make art prints of different Disney icons (Spaceship Earth, Tree of Life, Cinderella’s castle, etc) with cute faces  I also have a few stickers too! I’ve also been working on some Spaceship Earth and Orange Bird inspired paintings that I hope to have in my Etsy soon

Anything fun in the works that you can share with us?

I’m hoping to make more stickers this year as well as new paintings too in my Etsy shop! I’m really excited about those!

A phrase you would leave for a nostalchick (words of wisdom vibes)

Do and wear what makes you the happiest!  (Also, buy that cool thing you found at the thrift store and visit those cool old malls while you can!)
