The Story of AkiRobot

Hey everyone, I'm Autumn!

Welcome! I'm passionate about exploring the intersection of art and healing. While initially trained as a graphic designer, I chose not to pursue it as a career. Turning creativity into a job didn't feel right.

Life has taken me on quite a journey, marked by medical challenges, caretaking roles, and, eventually, cancer. Although I was a talented artist as a child, that part of me faded over the years. Today, I own a gym where we focus on parkour—a world far removed from my art education but one that has its own creative flow.

Through all these ups and downs, art has returned to my life in a healing way, thanks to my therapist, who gave me invaluable tools to process trauma and reclaim my creative spirit. My two children, who are also wonderfully imaginative, inspire me daily and keep me grounded.

Thank you for visiting and learning more about my story. The nickname "AuttyBot" comes from a dear friend's dad, a nod to the 80s Transformers, and "AkiRobot" is a playful reflection of my Japanese name, Aki. I hope my journey inspires you as much as it's helped me heal. It is now time for me to pay it forward.
