Portfolio

2025 Portfolio

A collection of my best artworks in 2025. This collection includes some of my Illustrations, 3D Models and even my own IP mascot characters.

Shirt Illustration Design for Caffa.jr

My role in this freelance project is to create bold illustrations for a shirt project for a renowned professional key grip and content creator named Caffa.jr. Communication was clear throughout the whole project, as I develop the sketches, to the line art and to the final deliverables. Each stage of the process was shown to the client for feedback, and iterations were made according to the feedback.

Jingoo - Personal IP Creation

A personal IP Creation Project of mine. (Think Labubu or Sanrio or Crybaby). The characters and their stories in this IP is fully created from scratch personally. I incorporated real world social issues into this cute and relatable IP. My goal with this IP is to let the world acknowledge the small little problems that each individual faces, while also bringing joy and laughter.
