Beyond the work
Mar 2026 โ PresentI produce and publish original electronic music as a personal creative practice โ driven by genuine love for the craft. The workflow is fully AI-native: from prompt design and music generation to album cover visual design and promotional video, every release is built end-to-end. I bring Figma into the process as a quality-control and acceleration layer, combining AI generation with traditional design discipline to keep both speed and taste intact.
