What Inspired You to Make This?
I've always loved making things, and illustration has always been my passion. However, when I discovered the magic of combining art and technology, I was hooked. Now, I create lots of projects using different ed-tech tools, teach classes, and create tutorials in the hopes of spreading the joy of making.
