Creative Product Designer @ Tomic

About

Graduated from School of Visual Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration with a president list, fellowship, scholarship, etc. I have learned various artistic techniques both digital and hand drawing, such as colored pencils, iPad (Procreate), Adobe creative suit, watercolors, and pen drawing. I am passionate about creating and communicating meaningful ideas through visual media. As creators, I reflected on myself occasionally to see what can improve and learn during each project I worked on. The key problems I aim to solve for my clients are conveying an accurate message and enhancing storytelling in publications. I had collaborated with museums and influential environmental organizations on several visual art projects. I gained valuable experience as a Designer in the creative industry, where I worked on product design and theme illustration projects for four months. I contributed to the development and execution of multiple designs, from concept to final product, using different materials and tools. I also collaborated with other designers, clients, and stakeholders, and received constructive feedback and guidance.
