AI
In the past year, my focus has been experimentation with AI tools like Stable Diffusion, DALL·E, and Photoshop AI. I have also been exploring text tools like ChatGPT. This journey involves playing with surrealism to create realistic scenes that kind of evoke a "magic realism." So I am looking to transform the ordinary into visually compelling compositions.

Cataloging
Another project I am always involved in is cataloging. Inspired by my mother's background as a librarian and my passion for music, video games, and films, I've become an active contributor to websites like Rate Your Music, IGDB, and Backloggd. For IGDB I've played a crucial role in curating information for approximately 200 games, with responsibilities that include researching, designing, and ensuring that each cover faithfully represents the game—a meticulous process involving cleaning up covers, adding screenshots, and creating new designs when necessary.
Roles & Skills: Graphic design, research, restoration
Playlists
As an avid music enthusiast, I turn my attention to playlist creation. I have around 300 personal playlists and I find so much joy in not only arranging the music so it represents the mood of the compilation properly, but also designs that represent them. These designs go beyond mere aesthetics; they serve as visual representations of the auditory journey encapsulated in each playlist. Below, you'll find some of my designs for my j-rock compilations, my indie music jams, my playlist with the r/japanesemusic community, and others.
