Hello!
I'm Korean-American illustrator & Graphic designer Irene Pae.
I get various inspirations from my daily life. I want to convey warm and diverse stories to people with my artwork. I create my own creative and unique stories and characters. I usually work with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Procreate but I also work with various traditional mediums.
