About
I am an artist in transition. In my past life, I was a senior software developer and tech lead at a multinational software consultancy.
After taking some time off to explore my desultory interests and rediscover my creative spark, I am moving into creative work and illustration full-time.
I am also exploring the art of verbal storytelling in addition to that of visual storytelling, having become a member of the Storytelling Association (Singapore) and taking part in volunteer storytelling activities with the National Library.
Among other things, I enjoy FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software), ethical and alternative tech platforms, composting, growing plants, regenerating the soil, and reading. Thanks for dropping by!
