At Sustained (Earth Heir & The Sea Monkey Project Sdn. Bhd), I illustrated The Sea Monkey Project Explorers: Odyssey Against Plastic, turning an existing script and story into finished comic artwork.

As a freelance comic book artist, I illustrated and completed a four-page comic for a teen author, translating the story into finished sequential artwork for Instagram publication.

For EmberLight Stories, I created character designs and set layouts for Trouble in Our Skies, a video game, and contributed creative input to its story and worldbuilding. I also developed characters for O3 Space’s cafe app, O3.
