Defining Personal Style for Your Blog & Website
After settling down for the basic functionality of a website, its time to dig deeper and let some personality shines! We want your website to speak who you are, so enjoy the freedom of building anything possible, as it is one of the advantages of building your own website. However, personal style does not just drop in one day. In fact, many designers have been developing styles for clients or companies, they may not have a clear answer.

Takeaways from building a COVID-19 curatorial side project

2019 Wrapped
And a year has passed. 2019 has been quite a journey for me. I have switched to become a full-time in-house product and UI/UX designer.
