ABOUT ME

MY STORY

As a designer, I take a story-driven approach to the visuals I create

Ever since childhood, I have been captivated by the art of storytelling. At first, it was the cartoons I watched. Overtime, my concept of narrative expanded to different subjects and mediums. I wanted to replicate and reinvent the many different works that inspired me: animated films, comics, classic literature, mythology, and more.

In analyzing how stories are told, we can glean ideologies and perspectives of their authors and the societies they were brought up in. The same applies to visual design. As George Lucas once said: “It’s like poetry… it rhymes”.

SKILLS AND PROGRAMS

  • Over the course of my design education, I have become intimately familiar with the Adobe Suite, particularly Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign, Acrobat, Animate, After Effects, and Premiere Pro.

  • Affinity Suite is a more cost-effective Adobe alternative, having its own equivalent of Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign.

  • Capcut is a free video editing program with a paid membership plan, allowing for more features and assets. Using the free version, I have edited videos since 2023.

  • Multiple project I have done I created using Figma, including some of the listed ones in my portfolio. I have experience both with designing using its vector tools and prototyping designs. Projects using this software include “Ratjuice” and “Golden Huggs Rescue”.

  • Procreate is a raster-based illustration software for IOS. Since 2021, I have used this program to create illustrations for my design work. This can be seen in projects such as Halcyon Star and the Tarot Cards.

  • A raster-based software and offshoot of Procreate optimized for animation. This tool allows for more in-depth video editing and animation techniques than the base version of Procreate. For example, there is a simplified method of keyframing that can be used by dragging a layer around while recording.

  • A software specifically created for pixel art and sprite animation. My first use of this program was in 2025 for the Halcyon Star project.
