Curation

This is the curated collection of eclectic items. I love collecting different kinds of mediums and media. The things that have resonated I'll shelve in my library.

    • Invididuals' Websites

      These are people whose websites serve as awe and inspiration. There’s something that resonates with me and I want to emulate or remix ideas from their websites. Some people I’ve met IRL, and I love their work. Others I might have met online. And the rest are people I’ve stumbled upon.
