My 5 - 9
When I’m not in Figma, I'm entertaining my two cats, Optimus Prime and Megatron at home—yes, I like the Transformers movie franchise, though I only like the first one.
I like cafe-hopping. It's less about the coffee and more about the vibes. I appreciate the unique atmosphere that each cafe curates in their space, whether it be through interior design, service, or simply, aesthetics.
I'm an arts-and-crafts gal. I love digital art but also getting my hands dirty, whether it's painting, drawing, throwing pottery, collaging, or crocheting.
