I’m Ace, an artist and a graphic designer specializing in physical and digital illustration and collage. I am passionate about using existing things, physical or digital, to create new artworks. My favorite projects involve studies in natural phenomena, social/philosophical questions, or historical artifacts or events. While not making art or managing a neuroscience research laboratory, I am spending time with my loved ones, identifying plants on a roadside, reading science (non)fiction, and/or pumping iron.
