"My work is usually inspired by events in my life that seem very trivial at the time, but are interesting to inspect and amplify through art. Often times, part of my personality can be seen in these works because of how I interpret my inspirations. I also collaborate with other people or groups, and am influenced by the prompts and my past interactions with related themes and ideas to make the designs. In addition, the parameters and feedback play a role in the end result. Designs I have done in thepast include posters and logo designs, using drawings or graphics on programs like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, which, through self-teaching, I am still trying to master!
