“Embracing my ASD has empowered me to rise boldly, shedding old limitations and igniting a transformative era of creativity and leadership.”

Since we last connected, my recent Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis has profoundly shaped my journey. Alongside ongoing physical disabilities, this clarity has guided me to metaphorically burn away my previous self, akin to the Phoenix, allowing for profound growth and a deeper connection with my authentic identity.

The theme of masks in my visual brand is intricately linked to the experience of camouflaging and adapting to fit societal norms, a journey now imbued with more profound personal significance as I embrace and celebrate my true self.

I am deeply honoured to continue presenting accessible DJ workshops and interactive exhibitions, serving as a source of inspiration within the disability community. My leadership has expanded to include pioneering professional development workshops in AI art, AI film clips, and augmented reality projection mapping, redefining creative expression and accessibility.

Maintaining artistic discipline, I release music and sound-reactive AI films monthly, exploring new frontiers in art and technology.

Sync’s unwavering support and inspiration have made this transformative journey possible. We are forging a future where creativity, authenticity, and accessibility thrive.
