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 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.

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)

RX Foamknight 02.png

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.

XE progress.png

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.

Felt like I succeeded in that regard.

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.

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.
