My Journey in Paper Crafts

My love affair with paper began in childhood, folding my first crane at age seven. What started as a simple hobby evolved into a lifelong passion and professional career spanning over 15 years.

I specialize in traditional origami, intricate quilling designs, and contemporary paper sculptures. My work has been featured in galleries across the country and commissioned for weddings, corporate events, and private collections.

When I'm not crafting, I teach workshops to share the meditative joy of paper folding and help others discover their creative potential through this ancient art form.
