Aside from my passion for Illustration and Motion Design, I am a self-taught learner as I love learning new things outside my current comfort zone.
Currently, I am taking an online course on “Illustration for Motion” from School of Motion with instructor Sarah Beth Morgan. As I am interested learning how to animate illustrated graphics.
Outside my passion hobbies, I love reading self-help novels, collecting art books, exploring social media and Pinterest for ideas, traveling to different places, sewing, and staying up to date with fashion trends.

Together with my current and new skill sets, my goal is to be a freelance as an Illustrator and Motion Graphic Designer.
After gaining years of experience as a Motion Graphic Designer, my goal is to merge both skill sets and create illustrated motion graphics for television intros, commercial ads, and editorial magazines.,
