personal interest and impact

Beyond the Screen

As a lifelong learner with a curious mind, I’m always eager to build and expand my skills. I’m passionate about creating colouring books for my kids (Yes i have 2 wonderful kids age 12 and 6) that stimulated my journey of creating content for young readers, finding joy in inspiring the next generation and helping them develop critical thinking and shape their own creativity. My experience also includes teaching workshops (e.g., visual generation) and a strong belief in fostering human connection and ethical AI implementation.
