"Self Love Best Love" Line from my clothing-brand project "GOLDLAINE"
This was a Valentine's Day/"Single's Awareness" theme I designed and screen-printed by hand,
on a variety of t-shirts and sweatshirts.

"GOLDLAINE" (GLXOG) was a clothing-brand project I ran from 2019-2020,
it included 2 original season releases, centered around Lion-Fu Dogs
(which culturally represent luck and prosperity) and 1 holiday-inspired concept
(my "Self Love Best Love" series above).

This clothing-brand was truly a labor-of-love,
I adore the whole process of designing and screen-printing every article of clothing.
It not only broaden and expanded my understanding as a designer and aspiring entrepreneur,
but also enriched the appreciation I have for products made for humans in mind.
Right from the conception, the production, the packaging, to the shipping of an end-product.

Through-out the years, I have always enjoyed conceptualizing new ideas, sometimes being overly ambitious, spreading myself too thin amongst all the things that peaked my interest.
As a result of exploring some of those ideas, resulted in many icon designs and branding ideas,
some that I actively still develop to this date, and some that have lovingly been retired.

Learning to prioritize, and practice discernment is something I actively try to tune and cultivate to maintain focus and efficiency for work-endeavors, but also in personal daily life.

A unique hobby of mine that I picked up and have perfected over the years, involves accessory/jewelry-charm, prop-making, and rug-tufting.
The charms are hand-sculpted, and hand-painted by me, utilizing polymer clay and acrylic paint. The finest details added with the classic common-house item, toothpicks.
Meanwhile the props are a result of a foam-curing process, enabling me to create realistic fake foods. They are styled in a variety of ways such as keychain accessories, ornaments, garlands, display décor, and more.
The Kirby rug is one I handmade utilizing a tufting gun, for a client.
Inspiration has been drawn from life or my favorite visual-media, like Studio Ghibli films and Nintendo's Animal Crossing.
