ABOUT

I was 15 when I got into anime and started to take my drawings more seriously. I started taking art classes and looking at videos on drawing tutorials.

After graduation, I attended Guilford Technical Community College and received my Associates in Graphic Design. It was difficult for me to find a job so I went for my Bachelors in Graphic Design Technology at NC A&T State University. I took an internship at a non profit art company and a t-shirt shop while working at Mcdonald's.

I gained a passion on making my own t-shirts along with adding my own work. The first brand idea I had didn't really go far, but I refused to give up. I decided to come up with a idea that was in my interest. "Putting anime on clothing"!

MairuNerd was the brand name I came up with. I always love making up my own characters so I took my skills further. The creativity and designs inspired me so much, it lets me know I can be as creative as I want with my work which is why I love anime.

Now currently working for Amazon, The MairuNerd journey starts here and I cant wait for what the one and only good Lord has in store for me.  Hopefully one day I'll be visiting Japan!! Many blessings to come!
