Confession: I’m a massive Wicked fan. Like, “knows every lyric to For Good” level of fan. But after years of seeing every kind of Wicked merch (from mugs to lego sets) I couldn’t stop thinking: where’s the Glinda-inspired makeup brush set when we need it the most?!
So over the weekend, I made it myself (and mastered new workflows along the way). Goes to show in the age of AI, it's all about the workflow and taste.
Check out The Upland Collection Vanity Brush Set: my fanmade take on what Glinda’s magical wand might look like if it lived on your vanity.
This was part design experiment, part love letter to a story that’s shaped who I am. See the full concept + process on my portfolio (and yes — there were bloopers 😆)

Just wrapped a 2-day sprint remaking my site! I'm really excited about this version <3 Though I had to change to a different platform again. I’ve now tried Wordpress, Wix, Framer, and Squarespace.
My verdict so far:
🧩 Framer → ABSOLUTELY made for product designers (especially who are well versed in figma!)
💼 WordPress / Wix → can get clunky, but pretty good for most business owners & for complex integrations
🚀 Squarespace → surprisingly great for fast paced venture builders like me~
Portfolio making is such a never-ending journey. Check it out and lmk your thoughts: http://qilart.com (Also open for business! :D)

First post! Had the opportunity to work on a personality-based NFT series: Hue Are You?
Every person has a spectrum. This collection transforms those subtle differences in personality into unique color stories, creating NFTs that feel as personal as they are playful. Think of it as your inner world, made visible. It uses generative algorithms to transform personality insights into bold, ever-evolving digital artworks; unique tokens that blur the line between self-expression and tech innovation.
Each piece maps psychological traits to carefully designed palettes, creating vibrant digital identities that feel both personal and universal. The project explores how color psychology and blockchain intersect to celebrate individuality in the digital age.
