Hi again! Niki here. A bit about me - I’m a Filipino-American artist who grew up internationally and spent most of my formative years in Vietnam and the Philippines. I currently reside in Vallejo, California. In 2011, I graduated from the Academy of Art University (AAU) with a degree in illustration. Since graduating, I’ve worked with a wide array of lovely clients such as The ACLU of Northern California, LA Times, Eater, Dropout/College Humor, Mosa Mack, and the U.S. Department of State (to name a few).

I enjoy illustrating work that connects me to my Filipino heritage, highlighting slices of Filipino life based off my own childhood memories. You can also find me downtown on many Vallejo Art Walk nights with my “Send Doodz” booth, where I draw peoples’ portraits - a fun way I connect with my community.

In my free time you’ll find me at my local farmer’s market, walking my dogs (unfortunately, my cat doesn’t like to come along), working community events, and embarking on international adventures with my husband and daughter.

Let’s connect and work on something meaningful together.

I am a member of Illustrators For Hire, a curated directory of professional freelance illustrators.
