About Me

A bit about me

Hobby

I like making things with my hands and on the screen: sketching, photography, and small creative coding experiments. When I'm not building something I'm usually exploring ideas or hunting for references that spark the next project.

Things I love to do

Designing layouts, trying new tools, and turning ideas into working demos. I enjoy the mix of visual craft and logic, whether it's a poster, a bot, or an interactive grid. Learning by doing is how I work best.

Why I'm interested in tech

I want to go deeper than tools and scripts. Design thinking keeps me focused on who it's for and what problem we're solving. Tech gives me a way to build things that actually run. A tech degree would help me understand systems and how to ship real products, not just mockups.

Creative Work

Creative Explorations

Design and tech work: from branding and print to code, bots, and interactive projects.

Design thinking I usually start with the problem and who it's for, then sketch and iterate. I like to test ideas early and keep things clear. Same approach when I'm building with code.

My Approach

Process & Thinking

Design thinking

Tech-first, with a design background. I want to go deeper in building and problem-solving with code.

Problem Explore Test Refine
01

Tech

I build with code: sites, tools, bots, experiments. I'm practical — I look things up, prototype fast, and debug until it works. I want to strengthen my foundations in development and computer science.

02

Design

My previous course was in design. I start with the problem and the user. Sketch, prototype, test, then refine. I bring that mindset into building products.

03

Where they meet

I care about things that work well and are clear to use. A tech degree would let me build more of that: solid systems and good interfaces.

Technologies & Tools

What I use & what I'm into

Building with these now. Always adding more.

Development

Project-driven coding plus small automation scripts (AutoHotkey, Macrorify EMScript). I'm working on deeper fundamentals in systems and performance.

Design

From my design background. I use it to make interfaces clear and usable.

Daily drivers

Illustrator-first workflow for design & publishing, plus photo editing and 3D (Maya before, Blender now).
