As an art director, I believe in good leadership by providing stunning visual direction, accurate feedback, and positive encouragement.
As an animator, I aimed to bring your visual to life, where it deserves to be seem like a character, more than a still image.
As a designer, I strive to solve your problem, improve the performance, gain more attention, and elaborate your strength and value.
As a creative individual, I constantly equip myself with the desire to pursue self motivation and improvement, aiming to be more innovative and a better artist.
I'm a San Francisco-based Malaysia-born animator, designer, and creative content developer.
