Born in Hong Kong, Donald grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area after moving there as a child. Years of drawing doodles in school along with a love of comic books led him to study illustration at the California College of the Arts. While in school, he developed various styles ranging from caricatures to editorial. He has since worked mainly in portraiture and freelance illustration. Currently, his favorite media is colored pencils over acrylic, although he also finds working with watercolors very liberating. Donald continues to reside and "doodle" in the San Francisco Bay Area.
