Ever since Ali could hold a pencil, she’s been drawing. Despite this, Ali originally wanted to be a veterinarian, and spent her early years thinking that’s what she was destined to be. Then, in high school, she discovered manga, and her whole world changed. In May of 2026, she graduated Suma Cum Laude with Honors majoring in Sequential Art and a double minor in Scientific Illustration and Creative Writing, and now spends her time post-grad attending events and focusing on her small business. Ali wants to make the most out of the gift she’s been given, and spends every day honing her skills to be sharp as diamonds.
