As a graphic designer, I strive to capture people's attention towards hidden yet essential emotions through design. Imagination, for me, serves as a way to retrieve and preserve overlooked or repressed feelings. Drawing inspiration from my passion for toys and animation, I depict my exploration of meaning and interconnectedness by envisioning objects as living entities. With experience in printing, branding, and social media development, I am also highly skilled in digital design, web design, as well as creating illustrations, animations, and motion graphics.
