Chelsi is a Thai-American amateur artist and aspiring animator living in Brooklyn, NY. She graduated with a BA in English & Economics from CUNY City College. In 2016, Ampawa was named a University Innovation Fellows by Stanford University’s Hasso Plattner Institute of Design.
From an early age she held a huge fascination for storytelling and multimedia entertainment. She was always creating art, drawing her own comics, and developing her own stories! She took a long break from creating art once she started college. This break continued until the pandemic, when the world was forced to stop and she could no longer work, so she started picking up the pen instead! She first started using digital art programs in late 2020! Crtl Z was a huge life-saver and made her fall for digital art as a medium. She is currently working on her first YT animatic! In her free time she enjoys creating art (haha did this need to be said?) reading, crafting, gardening, and learning new things!
