You can call me Topeh.
I'm a portrait artist and video editor who enjoys turning a blank page into work that feels personal and expressive. I specialize in charcoal pencil, colored pencil, watercolor, and oil pastel, and I document my full process through timelapse videos. I'm currently studying BSBA Financial Management after shifting from Electronics Engineering.
I play guitar, I'm into science & technology, and I find joy in creative editing and music. Open for commissions, video editing projects, and remote creative VA work. I also built this portfolio site from scratch using HTML & CSS with VS Code.
