The best candidates don't always have the best resumes.
After interviewing people from different countries, one thing has become clear to me:
A resume tells me what someone has done.
A conversation tells me who they are.
I've met candidates with years of experience but little willingness to learn. I've also met people with limited experience who showed curiosity, accountability, and genuine passion to grow.
Skills can be developed.
Knowledge can be taught.
But attitude, integrity, and commitment are much harder to build.
As someone working in recruitment, I've learned that hiring isn't just about filling a role. It's about finding people who can grow with the business and contribute to something meaningful.
Every interview reminds me that behind every application is a person hoping for an opportunity.
And behind every hiring decision is a chance to change someone's career.
Still learning.
Still improving.
Still grateful to be part of that journey.

I created this 5-slide Instagram campaign for GO CRAZY, a fictional contemporary accessories brand focused on handbags and jewelry.
I created the campaign for a real fashion brand clean, confident, editorial, and wearable. I focused on product storytelling, strong typography, natural photography, and a consistent visual identity across each slide.
Sometimes, a character doesn't need words to tell a story.
This illustration explores a range of emotions through one character, from happiness and sadness to anger, surprise, calmness, and worry.
I started with simple black-and-white line work, focusing on facial expressions, body language, and character consistency. Each panel was designed to communicate a different feeling while keeping the character recognizable throughout.
For me, children’s illustration is about more than making a character look beautiful. It’s about creating characters that feel alive, relatable, and expressive.
I’m currently exploring more ways to bring emotions and storytelling into my character designs.
Which expression stands out to you the most? 👀
