About

I am a multidisciplinary artist working in drawing, filmmaking, engineering and design. My expansive imagination leads to me coming up with new, other worldly ideas, which pushes me to bring them to life. I also enjoy sports and physical activity, they bring a joy to me that just can't be explained - other than that it's fun! My robust imaginative capability combined with my interests in math & sciences have led me to also want to pursue (mechanical) engineering - not just as a hobby, but also a career option.
