Summary

My name is Ashley Oliva, but I also go by Ash and Ahro. My pronouns are she/her/they.

I’ve been working as a professional graphic designer since 2017 in a local small printing company. As well as doing illustration commission work since 2013.

My passion for art stretches back to the late 90s when I first started to really focus on drawing characters from my favorite animated shows and creating my own. I never stopped drawing and continue to improve to this day.

When I’m not drawing, I love to spend my time reading, playing video games, streaming on Twitch and spending time with my wife and German Shephard.
