I’m passionate about crafting pixel perfect assets and systemizing designs with thoughtful intention.

Photography

Traveling got me inspired to make great photos and memories of places I've dreamed about as a youth until now. Of course, traveling also means enjoying the great food each place has to offer abroad while appreciating each culture! Check out more photos on my Instagram.

Mountain Biking

Send it! I've got a passion for being outdoor and enjoying off screen time on the mountain bike. Biking is a great challenge physically and mentally. While climbing up is mostly physical, the downhill is the fun part as well as mental focus depending on terrain. Nature is calming to my soul and being on the bike gives me a sense of freedom to roam.

AI ✨

Prompting generated assets is something that is a hot topic for creatives. Sparkling my curiosity, I wanted to get an understanding of what AI is and what use case can I feel comfortable with it as a tool. The big hurdle was to embrace the idea and see where it can take me. So far, I am using it for personal ideas and am in a comfort zone for personal use only. Check out my generative ai case studies as well.

Playfessional
I think of learning as a practice with life long implementations. Photography, for example, was a way for me to document my travel. Also, I took up photography to take better photos. Taking photos is not the same as making photos. Crafting a composition, lighting usage, etc. requires many "clicks" of the button on the camera. Equipment knowledge is crucial to get expected results. I enjoy the challenge of learning and carry that excitement whether for playfessional or professional.

Professional
This site was created in Framer. So learning to use Framer is pretty sweet. This gives me new perspective on how files are handed off to developers! If you have any feedback, I'm open to chat and hear how this site is working. Thanks!

Below is Figma's feature, Variables. This example I created by taking a single asset that can be changed from light to dark mode.
