Welcome to

The Workshop

The Workshop is my creative space, dedicated to sharing smaller projects, and my speculative, experimental, and skill-building projects. It's a place where you'll find unpolished and unfinished works, like a scrapbook of inspiration and growth. I enjoy using this space to give you a peek into my explorations as a designer, where I love trying out different software tools, staying up-to-date with current trends, and diving into design theory.

I believe in embracing imperfection and find beauty in the process of refining ideas. The Workshop is a reflection of my genuine passion for learning and exploring new possibilities in the world of design.

Experimenting with AI

AI has quickly increased idea generation, refining text and providing quick, concise summaries in only a few short minutes. Though controversial, AI aids design workflows. I've tested tools like Midjourney and ChatGPT for tasks from summarizing pockets of information to logo ideation. Despite data/image sourcing concerns, AI's undeniable usefulness points to an increasingly beneficial role in design processes.
