A little more about me
During my free time, I love to busy myself by drawing on my iPad or going outside for a short walk. Otherwise, I would drink my favorite Chai Tea, pet my cat, wake-boarding at the cabin, hang out with my friends, or watch inspirational and fun videos on Youtube.
I love the romance genre and listening to soft music while reading a novel. I often get lost in a good story for hours, or even when drawing. These are my out-of-bed motivators other than a good breakfast with coffee.
I am also a gamer girl. My favorite sport, tennis, was inspired from my childhood game, Mario Tennis. Continuing with the sport, I eventually reached the varsity team in highschool. Playing games also inspired me to learn Javascript on HTML and CSS to design my own.
