I'm a Technology professional who loves my day job — it's both my passion and my livelihood. Find me on LinkedIn if you want to know more about my professional background.
I enjoy making art and creative projects. This inspired me to start Moonlippy Studios as home for my creative hobbies. Outside work, I don’t really mingle much with anyone. I see Moonlippy as my way to get out of my bubble.
Digital Creativity
“About more than 20 years ago, I took Computer Science as my university course because I knew I wanted to design and create websites as a profession. Life just took me to a different direction (that is Java), which I then equally loved. I kept my design desires alive by pursuing blogging, and eventually designing my blog pages. It lead into something more once I got hold of credit cards and these software toolkits available now. Even leveled up once I got my hands on those tablets/devices with a stylus. I had always been insecure about what I can do, but eventually I got more confident as time goes by.”
To be clear, I still create websites in my corporate work life though it’s more enterprise-y level (think of the usual business/eCommerce websites and applications you use nowadays). At moonlippy, I’m just wanting to do my original intent, designing things on my own. I want to create, maybe help people along the way, and well, earn some extra.
My Makeup Education
Makeup is my first foray into “painting”. I like to buy makeup, and do makeup to myself, but I’m not really into the influencer side of it. I guess I am just too shy to be out there, or maybe it’s just too much to do, it could be any of it (but we’ll see how this evolves). For now, I thought I’d just do it to other folks, just be behind the camera. Since makeup involves working with humans, I pursued some professional trainings to develop my expertise.

The long lost art of Writing
Before computers were a thing, I had a knack for writing letterforms. In my adult life, I started hoarding pens and notebooks. During the pandemic, when I needed a break from the digital world, calligraphy became my creative outlet. It allowed me to formalize my handwriting hobby and develop it into a more intentional art form.
