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.
The name “Lysspiration” came from a username generator because I wanted a new handle for Instagram. I thought it was a perfect combo: Lyss + Inspiration = Lysspiration. While it may not have had much meaning at first, I grew to love this name as the act of creating stems from inspiration. I tend to think of getting inspiration like wishing on shooting stars. If you can catch it, then the ideas will burst into space.
