Every journey looks different from the outside.
What people often see are the milestones, achievements,
and moments of progress.
What they don’t always see are the doubts, mistakes,
difficult decisions, quiet lessons, and countless small steps
that made those moments possible.
My personal journey has taught me that growth isn’t always dramatic.
Sometimes, growth means starting again.
Sometimes, it means choosing consistency over motivation.
Sometimes, it means accepting that you don’t have everything figured out yet and moving forward anyway.
I’m learning to appreciate not only how far I’ve come,
but also the person I’m becoming along the way.
There is still a long road ahead.
And that’s what makes the journey exciting.

I wanted to tell a short story through animation, atmosphere and cinematic storytelling. The Last Light follows Kaito, a young swordsman returning to the ruins of his village, where a mysterious girl named Ayame reveals that his family’s past is far darker than he imagined.
The project moves through flashbacks, character interactions, supernatural battles and a final confrontation with Lord Akuma... building the story toward a cliffhanger rather than simply ending with the fight.
This was an exploration of 2D animation, character-driven storytelling, cinematic composition and anime-inspired visual direction.

The anime-inspired atmosphere and cliffhanger work well together.
☕ GroundWork — Good Coffee, Higher Energy.
🎨 Brand Identity · 📱 UI/UX · 📦 Packaging
A modern coffee brand built around energy, creativity, and momentum. ⚡
💡 The Idea
I wanted to create a coffee brand that feels as energetic as the first cup of the day.
🎨 Visual Direction
🖤 Charcoal — premium foundation
💜 Electric Violet — creativity
💚 Neon Lime — energy & freshness
📱 Digital Experience
A clean mobile ordering experience designed to make getting coffee simple, fast, and engaging.
☕ Brand Experience
I extended the identity across cups, caps, totes, packaging, and storefronts — creating one consistent visual system.
✨ The Result
A bold coffee identity that connects digital + physical experiences under one idea:
Good Coffee, Higher Energy. ⚡
What’s your first impression of GroundWork? 👀☕
I personally don't like the colors intensity or shade
Beautiful design is only part of the equation — making it work seamlessly is where the real challenge begins. 🚀
: One of my favorite recent builds ✦
Theory was designed for a creative studio that needed something bold and editorial without losing clarity or usability.
The part I loved most was figuring out how to make the site feel visually expressive while still giving the portfolio work...
