HOBBIES
In my free time, I manage a gaming Discord server, which provides an excellent opportunity to connect with new individuals and foster social interactions. Through this endeavor, I have been fortunate to develop numerous meaningful friendships. Many members of the community are aware of my passion for design, and I have received requests to create various designs for them, some of which are featured on my website.
Additionally, I enjoy hiking on weekends with my fiancé. As both of us have a keen interest in photography, we consistently bring our cameras along, allowing us to capture stunning images that I have showcased in my nature photography section.
Other interests of mine include skiing, reading, drawing, photography, gaming, and attending rock concerts.
