Hobbies

In my spare time, I like to create concept designs of my favorite artists' album covers, or I simply find an image I appreciate on Pinterest and create posters out of them. Sometimes, I edit videos to my favorite songs while I listen to my favorite podcast, Distractible, or watch a show. Currently, I am knee-deep in Grey's Anatomy thanks to my girlfriend. Aside from designing, I workout about 3–4 times a week, take scenic drives around Memphis, and read books, all while listening to music from either Drake or Bryson Tiller (I am a huge fan of R&B, rap, and pop). One thing I would like to do more is travel outside the country. I love going abroad or going back home to the Philippines to see my friends and family.
