Hello, everyone at the THU! :)

Biography

While my fascination with various forms of creativity was sparked in my youth, it wasn't until my post-university years, I finally decided to give my dream of becoming a professional artist a shot. Since then, my journey hasn't been smooth, like life often is. But I won't bother you with the details. We all have our unique stories, and we learn from them. I've held firmly onto hope and worked hard to make the most of my creative side. Now, I'm here, looking forward to growing my career alongside people who value similar things.

Very excited to be a part of this community and contribute in my own way. I'm particularly drawn to visual development and preproduction, where I enjoy crafting environments, props, characters, moods, and story elements, all in diverse styles and using both traditional and digital mediums, whether in 2D or 3D. Beyond the world of art and design, I find inspiration in literature, film, history, music, and the endless mysteries of our universe.
