“A natural evolution of my work.”
As new media has grown, so has my skill set as a designer and developer. I began as a basic web site and graphic designer in Hong Kong and over time added more to my repertoire. I thoroughly enjoy keeping up with new media technology and love to learn from my fellow new media designers and developers. My self-development in this field will never end, so you'll see my portfolio grow continuously.
I've divided my portfolio into seperate sections and selected a few examples to showcase in each category. I hope they whet your creative appetite and inspire you.
