About

Hey peeps! I'm a digital media designer with a passion for bringing stories to life through engaging visuals. From motion graphics and animation to 2D and 3D design, I love the challenge of bringing ideas to life in a way that not only looks visually appealing but also resonates with people. What excites me most is the process—from researching and exploring content, to experimenting with creative possibilities, to finally seeing everything come together in the finished piece. I’m patient, open to trying new things, and always excited to create something impactful.

Glowy Sprout is a mobile companion app designed to support parents with autistic children by featuring playful 3D characters, uplifting animations, and a friendly color palette. Glowy Sprout creates a comforting digital environment that gently motivates parents. It monitors emotional well-being through mood tracking and responds with personalized tips, motivational messages, and scenario-based mini-tests to help parents prepare for real-life challenges. For a comprehensive overview of the research, design process, and development journey behind Glowy Sprout, the full documentation slides can be accessed here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1_Ur5cAkJ_ez3tr3oeK-WV_dUPv_N5qI7lKy0HK6gHbw/edit?usp=sharing
