Over the years, I’ve stayed committed to exploring ideas, building concepts, and learning new skills through creative projects — whether personal, collaborative, or community-driven. While these projects vary in format and focus, they each represent a part of how I’ve continued to grow creatively.This portfolio provides additional context for my creative background and its connection to the work I aim to pursue next.

The Vinyl Project

A visual glance into TheVinylProject

The Vinyl Project is a creative platform rooted in vinyl culture — where music, design, and storytelling come together to create meaningful experiences. This initiative began with a simple goal: to bring intentional music into real spaces, through curated playlists and physical vinyl-inspired activations. But over time, it has evolved into a multi-layered creative system.For individuals, we curate playlists inspired by mood, memory, and theme — often released as seasonal drops or creative collections. Some of these playlists are shaped by our community of music lovers, who submit their favorite songs or moments to help bring each project to life.Because we’re inspired by the design legacy of vinyl, we often turn these playlists into physical vinyl covers or posters — merging sound with visual storytelling.On the business side, the Vinyl Project offers music curation and design rooted in brand identity. Whether it’s a small café in need of a more intentional playlist or a retail space looking to create a fully immersive musical experience, our goal is to enhance the atmosphere through music that feels aligned with the space.Some businesses receive curated background soundtracks. Others use our QR-integrated systems that allow customers to scan, listen, or even suggest tracks — making music a living part of the environment. And for some, we design full vinyl corners: physical installations that bring music to the foreground and become part of the brand storyAnd finally, because our projects draw on contributions from many disciplines — music curators, designers, writers, illustrators — we’re building a platform called The Curator Lounge. It’s a collaborative space for creatives to contribute, build, and showcase their work in a format that blends creative freedom with real-world use.Altogether, the Vinyl Project is an ecosystem — one built on culture, community, and the belief that music should feel personal, visual, and alive.

BLACK PEPPER

A visual exploration of Black Pepper’s brand strategy and identity — designed to capture the warmth, rhythm, and energy of culture-driven connection.

Black Pepper is a concept for an experience-based social app that reimagines how people connect. Instead of swiping on profiles, users match through shared interest in local events, venues, and community spaces. This project showcases the visual identity and brand direction for the platform — a guide to culture, connection, and discovery.

COLD COLLECT

A curated look at some original custom designs from the Cold Collect archive

Cold Collect was a creative footwear brand I launched, focused on custom-designed sneakers that blended personal style with cultural references. Operating primarily as a made-to-order project, each pair was hand-painted or customized with unique visual motifs, color blocking, and detailing.The brand emphasized one-of-one pieces and small batch customs, often built around themes, moods, or seasonal aesthetics. I managed everything from shoe sourcing and design execution to product photography, customer communication, and packaging.

CREATIVE DIRECTION · PHOTOGRAPHY · SOCIAL MEDIA

A collection of visual stories - including photography and creative direction.

This section features some of the early creative work that set the foundation for my introduction to photography, creative direction, and content development.
Through projects like these, I began exploring visual storytelling — learning to shape mood, style, and message through image, layout, and scene design.
Each piece reflects hands-on experience using tools, planning shoots, and shaping the creative process from concept to final output.
