Now for the fun facts:

✶ I love working alongside companies and organizations with a mission to make a difference and do my part as a designer to help them grow!

✶ I enjoy the process of ideating, developing and designing branding and marketing assets that the target audience can connect with.

✶ I'm always eager to learn more about anything and everything relating to design and marketing such as UX/UI and Marketing.

After Hours

Creating is something I love to do on and off the clock. I love being an on-call volunteer graphic designer for organizations such as CAUSE Canada as a way to continuously practice my skills. On the side, I'm pursuing a passion project called One & the Same (previously known as Inky Winky) where I showcase my illustrations as stationery, apparel and home goods. It is my way of living out my dream of owning and running a little shop as well as a way to boost my confidence by participating in pop-up markets as a vendor. In my spare time, I also love exploring different mediums of art such as photography, punch needle embroidery and painting.

Aside from art and design, I enjoy exploring urban parks, reading fiction, poetry and memoirs, listening to podcasts about self-development and psychology, and bouldering at the climbing gym.
