Something extra about myself:

Passions: telling stories of others and my life through manga, comics, animation, fine Arts, I enjoy learning about different cultures, traveling, helping others, a good cup of tea and coffee(?) and spending time with family and friends. And I enjoy teaching and helping other artists, big or little, to go to the next level in their lives and see their dream come true.

Strength:
Time management, its my personal discipline to deliver on time, and I enjoy team collaboration. I know how to work with different kinds of artists from directing my own projects, as well as helping other people's projects, and having rooted in family relationship ministries, I am familiar with methods on how to deal with conflicts in peaceful manners.

Weakness:
I can be the over-communicator, asking a lot of questions to annoy you, or under communicate at times when I am not sure. I'm still trying to find the balance between figuring it out myself and asking questions.

I tend to under estimate my need for rest and overwork myself. -_-bb need constant reminders. My friends always tell me "Don't work too hard."
