I am passionate about Japanese culture and interested in all things creative. I also enjoy a good challenge when it comes to the projects that I do. As a team player, I strongly believe in adaptability and efficient communication in order to achieve a common goal. With three years of experience as a 3D Game Artist, I have gained a deep understanding of the importance of clear communication and coordination across disciplines. I have frequently taken on leadership responsibilities - planning and organizing events, managing project timelines, and collaborating with teammates of diverse working styles. Outside of professional work, I also run a small Etsy shop where I design and sell Canva templates for digital use. This side project has taught me how to balance aesthetics with usability, respond to customer needs, and design with conversion in mind. It has been a great way to sharpen my ability to resolve conflict and communicate with others.
