About Me
I'm Aster Lau, an artist living in sunny Singapore. I recently graduated from Visual Communications in Nanyang Technological University (School of Art, Design and Media).
I am a driven individual proficient in graphic design and illustration. I also have experience in other areas such as video-editing and storyboarding as well.
In my spare time, I draw and share my love for comics, games and shows online through my social media, and participate in local and international conventions. I also happen to be roommates with two handsome little budgie friends who love giving kisses!
