Coming into college, I started off on the technical end of the tech spectrum. Now, I ended up somewhere in the middle. Falling asleep in my computer engineering lectures for two weeks straight was my wake up call.
I found out about UI/UX after talking to a friend who reached his mid-life milestone of changing careers, and I could sense a new chapter for myself. All through high school, the intersection of design and the technical was just a wish, but I later discovered it exists. To say the least, high school me would be so excited to hear about the path I'm on now. It's a joy to use my skills to serve others.
Unprofessionally, I enjoyO dancing,O making music,O watching movies, andO ice cream! While I love a good time with friends, I also don't mind being aO homebody.

For two years, I was an active member of my college ministry's graphics team. I was able to apply most of the graphic design principles I learned through OIT, and since there was no branding guidelines, it was a great opportunity to push myself in exploring different styles.

I jumped onto the film-making trend during Covid. It started with some dance covers with fun transitions, and it's come to pre-production planning, color-grading, and expensive equipment. But I love it!
Some videos are personal; others are crafted for loved ones. Or they're for work.
Whatever the situation, I enjoy writing plots that are detailed, unique, and catered towards the audience.
This is my creative outlet.
