Why Educating Media

Serious Learning. Playful Design.

Educating Media is more than a portfolio name, it’s my creative identity.

It captures what I do best: design media that educates, engages, and sticks.

The name reflects my obsession with clarity, story, and strategic design that makes people want to learn (and finish the course).

I chose this name to emphasize what content should be… interactive, purposeful, and yes, even fun.
