Interest
  • Fashion
    I enjoy creating my own unique style in fashion, rather than following traditional trends. By choosing clothes that reflect my personal identity, I can stand out and feel confident in my own look. I believe it’s important to create a style that’s different from others, rather than just following what's popular.
  • Sketching
    My interest in sketching started when I was a child and has continued to be a passion of mine. I especially enjoy drawing people and caricatures, and I've developed my skills with pencil sketches. Sketching is not only a way to express myself artistically but also a way to show appreciation and respect for others. I often give these sketches as gifts to express my gratitude.
  • Painting
    I first got into painting in high school, where I took part in projects like poster designs and creating murals. Over time, I improved my skills and grew more passionate about it. Now, I enjoy sharing that passion by teaching my daughter how to paint, using creativity to strengthen our bond and express ourselves.
  • Crafting
    I have a strong passion for crafting, especially when it comes to turning ordinary objects into something unique and visually interesting. I've always enjoyed taking everyday items and making them more creative. In the past, I designed custom T-shirts, caps, and jackets in the Philippines. Now, I customize shoes in my free time and sell them, turning regular items into personalized pieces of art.

These hobbies help me boost my creativity and develop my attention to detail. I believe the skills I've gained from these activities can also be applied to my work.
