Hi, welcome to my online portfolio!
Here, you'll find things about me that I couldn't fit on my resume, and you can also see other
things I've done (like skydiving!).
Besides being a full-time student, I really enjoy playing badminton, ultimate frisbee and Spikeball! I've played competitive badminton since 2015 on my high school team, then in the UW Badminton Club at university. I started frisbee and Spikeball in university when my friends introduced it to me, and I have been loving it since!
I am an avid video editor and I love making vlogs. I love to travel but unfortunately it is expensive so the places I've been to are limited, but I always try to make some sort of video to remember it! I use Adobe Premiere Pro, PhotoShop, and a bit of After Effects for a lot of my creative work.
One of our friends who got a job in Asia told us he was going to be in San Francisco for a work trip and we figured
visiting him in San Francisco would be a lot cheaper than going to Asia. And that's how this trip came to be.
This was one of the most fun intros I did - luckily, the song was allowed to be used without copyright infringements!
You may have noticed that the production quality has drastically increased. This was my first
trip with the new Dji Osmo Pocket 3.
Korea was fantastic; the food, the people, the environment, the food..
really, this vlog was pretty much just a food tour - hope you're not watching on an empty stomach!
This trip was a "haha what if" kind of trip. Our friend was moving to Boston for work and she had to do some in-person administrative things. She was going for a road trip, and we figured we'd tag along for fun. It was a great city with delicious food and great environment.
I believe that Tik Tok (almost) single-handedly normalized short videos in portrait format and this was a perfect platform for vlogs because of its low commitment to production quality. That's not to say that the videos are low quality, but the voiceover format mitigates any audio quality concerns while filming. Here's a 3 part vlog I filmed when I went to New York for a weekend - we toured popular places, ate lots of food, and biked around Central Park!
Something I always thought about since the start of university was what sort of graduation trip I'd want to go on. There was a lot to consider such as accommodations for larger groups, dietary restrictions and activities. With all that, we decided on an all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana because it would be the most flexible for everyone. We went in May 2022 for 7 days and it was a fantastic trip - see the vlog below!
One of the most exciting things I've done so far was skydiving! I have always wanted to skydive but I didn't meet anyone who wanted to until I attended university. I edited this video with the footage the camerawoman filmed on my jump down.
Hong Kong was the first time I traveled outside of North America and I went with one of my friends. It was an extremely long flight but I was able to experience a lot familiar foods at a whole new level. The video was my first attempt at a travel vlog and it is on the lengthier side, but there are timestamps if you're interested!
A quick way for me to keep up my hobby of video editing is creating short parodies of pre-existing videos, such as The Office opening. This idea actually came to me when I saw a similar edit on Instagram for the Toronto Raptors and I thought this would be a funny video to showcase my friends.
Web design has always been one of my interests ever since I created a WordPress site for my high school project. After my first coop with the Faculty of Engineering at UW, I was able to work on many projects for clients and school-related projects. I created a new personal portfolio (this site!) to showcase myself and my skills. This website was built using a Bootstrap template that I personalized and tweaked.
Below are some examples of my work!
September 2020. Built using a Bootstrap template, this was my first attempt at a fully coded website. Previously, I had a site on WordPress but I wanted more flexibility and a personalized design.
