The Artist

Just a regular girl all the way from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where I was born and bred.

Since my days in university, I've been dabbling in a bit of graphic design and messing about with Photoshop mainly for the sole purpose of Fanart. Pretty soon, I started branching out into doing posters, flyers, and other random bits of graphics.

Basically, what you see right here is a true amateur's work who was trying to hide from reality and making up all kinds of nonsense in PS. Somewhere in between all that, I also wrote and was a freelancer for a couple of local newspapers before graduating.

In 2008, I graduated with a degree in Chemistry where thereafter I was recruited by Nestle as a Product Technologist. After almost two years in this multi-national company, I've come to realise that I'd rather be doing the things I'm passionate about.

So I quit, took a 40% pay cut and joined BPC Solutions as their Copywriter and Social Media girl. Yes, basically I play with Twitter and Facebook for a living. Cool eh?

With my limited knowledge of web-coding, I know some CSS, PHP, and stumble through the many mazes of HTML to bring forth my humble websites. Besides that, I also do some vidding, which can be viewed here: Static F33d. Other pieces of art not showcased in this portfolio and pieces of original writings can be viewed at frickangel @ Livejournal.
