The past months have been life-altering, mind boggling and definitely a rollercoaster. They gave me something I hadn't had in a long time: space. Space to reflect. Space to question.

I used to think my twenties would look like a perfectly curated Pinterest board; clean, organised, polished and effortlessly cool. Honestly? It's more like a camera roll full of blurry screenshots, deep 2AM chats, outfit photos I never posted and notes app rants I will probably turn into something... someday... Some days I'm reflective like I could write a book called "What I learned after…
Do you know the song Party 4 U by Charli XCX? If you don’t, YOU SHOULD. Anyways, there was this trend on TikTok, and that’s how I discovered this song.

Inspired by the nostalgic flash games I used to love and my own drawings, this was a cozy coding project and a chance to bring a static illustration to life in a simple and interactive way.

It sounded cute and useful, and I thought, “How hard can it be?” (Spoiler Alert: REALLY HARD) Toolbox A…

Have you ever wondered how dandelions float so effortlessly through the air, or how seeds manage to hitch rides on animals as they pass by? In my Bionic Design course, I got the chance to dive into the fascinating world of seed dispersal and transform nature’s clever strategies into a real, working mechanism. Thanks to my earlier Biomimetic Science course, I had already learned how to abstract the…
