Hi, I'm Isu, a communication design student with a deep passion for photography, illustration, publication, and motion graphics. I’m particularly interested in integrating diverse media into my work to unlock vast possibilities for innovative expression. By blending traditional techniques with modern digital tools, I aim to create unique and engaging visual narratives that capture attention and challenge perceptions. I’m dedicated to pushing creative boundaries, experimenting with new ideas, and exploring the intersections of art and design. My ultimate goal as a designer is to continually refine, enhance, and infuse thoughtful details and insights into every piece I create.

Stop Animal Testing
Animal testing remains a deeply ingrained yet ethically challenging practice across many industries worldwide. Through this publication, my goal is to critically examine the ethical implications and question the scientific validity of continued animal testing. More importantly, I aim to bring attention to emerging, humane alternatives that promise not only ethical but also scientifically superior results. By presenting these solutions, this work seeks to engage readers in rethinking established norms and advocating for a future where innovation and compassion go hand in hand.
