Some may refer to me as Alyssa, Lyss, or Munchkin…I'm an Asian American illustrator and amateur storyteller. Unfortunately, I never wanted to be a doctor nor was I a child prodigy of piano. I struggled academically throughout high school due to both physical and mental health issues. It wasn't until my senior year that I took my first art class. It is all thanks to my high school art teacher, who inspired my passion for life again.
