[一] MELLISTUDIO
To be honest, I think this is where my journey into design first began: all the way back in 2020, right at the start of the pandemic. As a huge bullet journalling & sticker fan, I had always wanted to create my own sticker designs — so during high school, I decided to start my own small business — mellistudio — doing exactly that! Through mellistudio, I’ve gotten the chance to do some incredibly cool things, from sending my stickers to customers in over 20 countries, to having my products in brick-and-mortar shops, and even mentoring & sponsoring high school artists to get started with their own sticker businesses.
Now, even though I don’t actively run mellistudio anymore, it still holds a place in my heart. It was a super cool experience being able to create something I had always just been a consumer of — seeing other people buy my designs and use them in their own journals was an especially rewarding feeling.
[二] PHOTOGRAPHY
I sometimes take photos (especially of animals). I really enjoy the process of editing my photos and seeing how I can transform them into what I envision. I definitely don’t do this enough to really improve my skills, but it’s a fun way for me to be in the moment and explore a slightly different creative side of myself!
