Character Modelling

Overview:
For years I used a 2D orange character for my alt profile picture around the web. I became attached to him, but I was well aware that he wasn’t really mine since I didn’t make him. A year after starting my 3D journey, I decided to try making my own version of him that would be unique. Years later I came back and refined him into the version which is currently in-place today. I also did the same for a friend by request to their specification.

3D Printing

Overview:
A natural extension to my experience in 3D Modelling was to try out 3D Printing. I’ve since modelled, printed, primed, and painted several projects.

How the Web Works — Video Series

Overview:
My capstone project for high school was inspired by the swirl of misinformation that spread during COVID and the 2020 US election. I believed a main cause for this was that users today don’t understand how web search works, and thus can be easily taken advantage of. Furthermore, the barrier to learning how web search worked was too high… Existing guides to the web, in my opinion, failed because they fell short in either one or several of the following: non-comprehensive, too shallow, too technical, lacking visual aid, lacking purpose.

For 4 months, I researched and crafted a video series about the web for a target audience of everyday users who are not versed in technology. The series is comprehensive and walks the fine line between explaining technical details without straying into details that don’t directly help a user understand how to responsibly use the web.
