\n\t\t\t\t\tMy story begins with my parents, I think every (human) story does!\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t

\n\t\t My dad is a mechanical engineer. My mom was a creative entrepreneur. That combination shaped how I think and create.\n\nFrom a young age, I knew I wanted to beautify the world in my own way. \t<\/h5>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tI wrote and illustrated comic and manga books and sold them to classmates. I picked up photography, drew on PowerPoint, and made entire layouts with Word fonts before I ever touched design tools.\n\n\nIn 2011, a friend introduced me to PhotoDraw. That was the spark. I started designing posters for house parties and school events. A year later, I discovered Photoshop. That changed everything. While studying, I worked in several creative studios. Then I started my own branding firm, which I ran for five years, including through the pandemic.\n\n\nWhat drives me hasn\u2019t changed. I want to create to make things better. To bring form to feeling. To shape beauty that connects and moves people. I still believe I was born to beautify the world in my image. And I carry that belief into everything I do.\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
