From a young age, art has been a way of expressing myself that words could never perfectly capture. Whether through sketching or experimenting with different colors or mediums, I found freedom in the creative process. It required no deadlines or strict rules, only imagination and discovery. Art gave me a sense of privilege over my creativity; it allowed me to transform simple concepts into something tangible and meaningful. This freedom to express myself ultimately became the foundation for how I approach every project: with curiosity, patience, and a drive to improve.

That same curiosity eventually led me to the world of 3D modeling. When I took a Blender class in high school, I was able to turn my childhood dream into a reality: my main project was to design a Nissan GTR, my dream car. What began as a simple assignment quickly became an obsession. I didn’t have to force myself to learn; every tutorial and challenge felt exciting because I could see my vision coming to life. When I finally completed my model, I remember feeling immense satisfaction as I rotated the finished piece on my screen, realizing that I had created something that once only existed in my imagination. That moment made me realize that art and design could be more than just a hobby. They could become a way to build and innovate in the real world.

Art felt like a big canvas where I could open up when I felt closed off. With Blender, I turned ideas into designs. That mix of imagination and building showed me how much I wanted to keep creating, which is why mechanical engineering excites me now.
