hiiii~
Nice to meet ya, I’m Fen (they/them). I’m a queer artist and teacher based in Oakland. My previous work experience in design has been primarily at Two Hats Consulting as a graphic designer doing social media marketing, advertisement, print, and product design.
I took a break from design to switch into the education industry, which I fell in love with.
Taking a year off of design reinvigorated my motivation for art and strengthened my core values. Being a teacher gave me the freedom to only choose projects that align with my values.
If you are interested in collaborating and you feel that we are aligned, please do reach out. I would love to meet you and speak about any potential projects!

I love to learn. I try to study and experiment with whatever I’m interested in that week.I do a lot of creative exploration since I’ve realized forcing myself into one box has burnt me out. Some artistic ventures I’ve explored are sketching, crochet, clay, mixed media video, drawing, 3D, and linoprint.
Sometimes my hobbies are not really artistic but involves body movement. I used to be really into body building/gymming, but these days I’ve been enjoying biking.
Something I’m hoping to get into eventually is calisthenics, so if you have any experience with that, please let me know. I’d love to learn from you!
after hours :o
A “fen” is a type of wetland, similar to a marsh or bog.

I was around the internet a lot growing up, and I really loved video games, Junji Ito, and Japanese media such as anime, magazines, films, fashion, and music.
