About Me
I am a graduate of Dasein Academy of Art with a Diploma in Fine Art. Throughout my academic journey, I have taken on various part-time roles that have helped me develop strong interpersonal, time management, and basic maintenance skills. In addition, I have explored hands-on skills in the beauty and wellness field, as I believe having a practical craft provides a sustainable side income to support my path as an artist. Looking ahead, I am passionate about pursuing careers that align with the arts, such as becoming a tattoo artist, a full-time artist, or even managing an art logistics business.
