MOTIVATION

Since starting high school in 2007, I began teaching myself Photoshop, distinctly remembering that the version was CS 2.0. Countless times I opened the splash screen adorned with a feather and used the software to design what I then considered "beautiful" images, which I used to decorate my personal blog. I believe that in that summer, I unknowingly planted a seed.

By 2016, when I decided to establish my own studio and began developing websites, I had no knowledge or experience in coding. Yet, using the time right before sleep each night, I learned HTML and CSS through online courses. I started by "modifying" others' code for practice and eventually my self-programmed websites won awards, strengthening my belief in the power of self-learning.

Back in 2007, website animations heavily relied on the cumbersome FLASH animations, but this changed with the advent of HTML5, CSS3, and JS, enabling us to implement a variety of animations in a more streamlined manner. From FLASH to JS code; from MAYA to C4D, then to Blender; from collating DEMOS on Pinterest to using tools like Mid Journey and Stable Diffusion… If we don't keep up with the world's advancements, we'll lose our coolness.

Keep learning, keep progressing.
