Jade Ueji
Illustrator
My Vision as an Illustrator: My vision as an artist is to bring stories to life. To work with others to expand, grow, and cultivate their ideas into illustrations that feel alive.
My Vision as a Mentor: My vision as a mentor is to empower others in their own unique journey of creativity by establishing healthy work flow patterns and providing the tools to work through the mental blocks that often come with being an artist.
My Creative Dream: I am fascinated by storytelling, and the power that stories have in evoking a vastitude of emotions and experience. My creative dream is to explore the potential of stories and narrative through writing and illustrating graphic novels.
My Background: I have a BFA in Studio Arts at University of Colorado Boulder and I am experienced in Photoshop and Procreate. I work with both with traditional materials and digitally.
Fun Stuff About Me: I was a very “martial” kid, teaching myself nun-chucks (without concussing myself!) and sword dancing at the age of 9 before moving on to formal study of Bushin Kan karate.
