After graduating high school, I decided to take gap years to explore my interests and gain real-world experience. During this time, I immersed myself in a variety of creative fields, learning new skills and honing my talents in photography, graphic design, 3D design, video editing, and fashion styling. I worked on personal projects, collaborated with brands, and built a diverse portfolio that not only broadened my skill set but also gave me a deeper understanding of the industry. This year of self-discovery and hands-on learning has prepared me for my next step—pursuing higher education with a clear sense of direction and a solid foundation in creative and professional development.
