Hello, and welcome!


I’m Suejee, an animator/illustrator based in Brooklyn!  I run First Hold, a risograph project publishing narrative-driven comics, zines, and animations.

First Hold is a natural evolution of my freelance work and a step toward prioritizing personal growth. It’s a studio dedicated to crafting heartfelt keepsakes, with a focus on identity, storytelling, and community.

Thank you so much for your interest and support :0)
