Robots aren't everything.
I dabble in graphic and
multimedia design as well.

Monster Mashup Vol. 01
I was one of the linework artists for
Grit City's comic book anthology, Monster Mashup Volume 01, doing linework for "Battle for the Belt".
​
Its a rather short comic, but it was fun to work with others on a large project.

SOMERSBY LABEL
Packaging experimentation with Somersby as the star.
​
The goal was to capture the look and feel of an Alice-in-Wonderland-esque world, with throwbacks to the purported British origins of the brand.

FIXITKIT
Out in the wild, things will be broken.
​
When you are hiking in the woods, backpacking on the road or braving a crowded convention, small repairs are usually necessary.
​
The FIXITKIT is a grab-and-go solution for those who don't want to spend so much time preparing their own home-made repair kits.
​
Grab one, chuck it in a bag and you are good to go.

POLYMER
CANVAS
Polymer canvas is a colouring book with many small units and details to fill in, except instead of mandalas and floral patterns, it features robots (which I love).

BDO PROJECTS
I have worked with Binder Dijker Otte (commonly known as BDO), the international accounting firm.
​
The focus was to create more
youth-oriented designs for
L-folders and brochures.

ANIMATIONS
I have experience in Adobe Animate (formerly known as Adobe Flash).
​
I have interned in an animation studio working on keyframing and tweening for rig-based cartoons.

TABLETOP
&
RPGS
Tabletop and Role-Playing games have always fascinated me.
​
The worldbuilding, internal systems and acting elements require so much planning, thought and design to produce a balanced set of tools.
​
In my arsenal I have written multiple homebrews and have helped to create designs and manuals for other people within the hobby community.

THE
BROKE REPORT
The Broke Report is a concept for a website that allows users to tag and report local neglected areas that have fallen into disrepair, such as missing manhole covers, broken fences or even abandoned furniture.
​
The aim is to bring attention to these items and to alert the responsible parties and drive them into action through the power of the people.
​

ENJUNK
Enjunk is an experimental decorative typeface featuring robotic and mechanical units.
​
The typeface uses a pool of units that are pieced together to create individual characters, with alternate characters easily made at a moments notice.

ZWOOSH BANNERS
A collection of twitch/live-streaming banners for Zwoosh, a small business that caters towards up-and-coming live-streamers, creating branding for those who want to grow their channels.

NNAKAN
NNAKAN is a board-game/card-game developed by myself and a partner, with the goal of celebrating Malaysian food culture and bringing people together.
​
The game is designed to be played in the gap of time between ordering your food and before it reaches the table.

Foam
Knight
Blasters
I design foam dart blasters with Foam Knight, a small independent creator.
​
We design and produce hobby-grade foam blasters that cater to a wide range of audiences, from the more competitive end of foam-flinging to the more casual plinker.
​
(2020)
The Foamknight XC was the first to be designed and produced (for both of us).
​
It takes a whole range of dart sizes, with the barrel being able to be swapped on the fly using a clever take-down system.
The RX is a small, pocket-sized break-action primed blaster.
It's great for plinking and having fun, and is a good entry point into the 3D-printed blaster space as a hobbyist.
An excellent first-choice for those who like to tinker.
The XE is our step into the mag-in-grip arena, with a moving plunger and fixed pusher rod.
​
With a comfortable grip and a subcompact form-factor, the XE is a great choice for those who want a primary, but cannot afford the space in the house for a full length blaster.

Battlebots
2020
Another informal project ; I completed a roster translation of all the combat robots that participated in Battlebots 2020. It was a great opportunity to practice character design, having to translate a mechanical design into a more anthrocentric one.
​
I have since gotten more involved with the Battlebots community as a whole.

Battlebots
2021
Took a month or so to attempt the same thing I did last year, only better.
​
Felt like I succeeded in that regard.

VERSKEDU
Verskedu: Basic
A two-week long project started on a whim. It is an almanac consisting of 20+ pages of lore and worldbuilding of a locale, going by the name of Verskedu. The booklet is done in black and white, with descriptions of people, places, culture
and technology.

LOLSHOT.io
I was pulled in to design the weaponry for this free online FPS game. The challenge was getting that cartoony look and feel whilst having a realistically proportioned player model to adapt the proportions to.
​
Overall I think the weaponry turned out well, and I'm always happy to add another pan-fed weapon concept to the online world.

Almost Real
Volume .04
Very glad to be invited to contribute to this speculative-biology zine!
​
The two-page spread article i wrote about a symbiotic mechanical creature that looks for roots is one of the more interesting things I've made that has seen public release.

Battlebots
Season 07
In October 2022 I was able to join a team and participate in the production and filming of
Battlebots season 07.
Whilst there, I served on team Horizon as graphic designer, painter and general duties on the robot.
​
On the side, I continued my yearly tradition of anthropomorphizing the various competing robots and teams; Being at Battlebots in the flesh greatly allowed me to take in details that one would miss from pictures alone. In all, it was an unforgettable experience.
