A short story

about me

I'm an adjunct trainer with a background in Interior and Landscape Design, having started my creative journey in advertising agencies as an Art Director. My experience across design and visual communication has shaped the way I approach both creativity and teaching today.

When I'm not teaching, I spend much of my time painting, sketching, and exploring new artistic techniques. I enjoy the process of experimenting, observing, and continuously refining my craft. At heart, I'm someone who's always looking for fresh experiences, creative challenges, and new knowledge to grow from.
