Brief Resume
I’m fortunate to pick up HTML at a relatively young age. I first got on the Internet when I was 14. Happened to chance upon a web tutorial site while surfing, and learnt to make my very first webpage soon after, coding HTML on notepad. I was very technical and not bothered with aesthetics until I got into an art college for tertiary education at age of 18. Majoring in Multimedia and specializing in Interactive Media, I learnt about conceptualizing and started experimenting with softwares. Soon after, I got my first commissioned assignment and although it was not alot of money, it was a stepping stone for better things. Projects have been pouring in since then. On a more recent note, I’ve just completed my National Service, and have been freelancing. I’m looking forward to joining a capable design agency in the foreseeable future.

Projects
Currently freelancing on print stuffs and also working on experimental stuffs for my site which I hope will be implemented soon.

Inspiration
I like colors. Keith Haring and Andy Warhol has always been a form of inspiration for me. Music inspires me, especially depression music. Orange light inspires me. The night inspires me. The smell of approaching downpour inspires me too. I also love to imagine things, letting my thoughts run wild on anything that I see. But getting inspired is 1 thing, getting down to work is another. It often takes awhile before I start to put my ideas to work, but once I get the engine started, its hard to stop. Unless of course, if Baywatch is on tv.
