While in high school, I* illustrated the 25-page children's book Simba Finds a Friend in collaboration with the Heart and Hunger Project to bring awareness to stray dogs in Sri Lanka & the greater Indian subcontinent. Additionally, I designed the logo as seen on the cover and first page. I was also responsible for typesetting and preparing for print, and I helped edit the manuscript (specifically pages 7-10 and 13-15).

This book was available for sale via Amazon KDP from September 2025 to April 2026, and comprises of my first published illustrations.

Earthworm* is an upcoming speculative fiction novel about an ethics grad student-turned-outlaw and his adoptive daughter helping rebuild their country in the wake of a tumultuous revolution. The duo is endangered by their association with the highly controversial open-source "Earthworm" software, which allows for digital data and messages to be freely distributed and translated through bird calls. The decentralization of digital communication serves as both a resistance and exacerbation to the increasingly authoritarian government and its interim president, who seeks to stop the duo at all costs.

I am currently working on a manuscript for Earthworm.
