I am a fourth-year Honours student in Graphic Design at the University of Canterbury, with hands-on experience across digital and print media. My background includes developing marketing collateral for Makimono/Sushi Express and supporting design execution and prepress preparation during an internship with WAI Wanaka. Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite and confident in both tactile and digital production, I bring a detail-oriented, collaborative approach to creative problem-solving. Raised in Aotearoa with Chinese-Filipino heritage, I have a strong personal connection to anime and manga culture and a clear understanding of what resonates with fan communities. I am motivated to create engaging, culturally relevant content across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter, and I work well independently while adapting to feedback. I am eager to contribute to Twine’s mission and help shape a vibrant online presence that celebrates anime culture with clarity and impact.
