Growing up, I have always been into arts and crafts. But when I got married in 2017, I enjoyed DIY-ing our wedding signages, envelope addressing, place cards and decorations, it awakened a dormant creative passion inside of my soul.
The same year, I started bullet journaling which also gave me the opportunity to explore other aspects of creativity like botanical illustrations.
Combining bullet journaling, calligraphy and floral illustrations have helped me grow as a creative and I am fortunate enough to share my passions through reaching workshops and doing commission work.
