Spice Rack

Welcome to the spice rack, home to all my seasoned and spicy passion projects! Aside from my professional design work, I also like to nurture my artsy and experimental side through these projects and artworks. As of now, I've mainly been interested in digital media, fine arts, and wearables, so my work on this page are categorized in that way. Some of these pieces are animated and are toggled off for accessibility. Click on the play button to get the full experience, and click again to stop the animation!
