Time management


Time management has never been my strongest suit, but creativity doesn’t survive in chaos for too long so improvement is due. 


During this course, I’ve had to rethink how I spend my hours. From juggling assignments and personal projects to just finding space to breathe — it’s a lot. I started experimenting with different tools like:


Google Calendar for reminders. 

My alarm to manage time efficiently. 

To-do lists for daily, weekly and monthly goals. 

Sleeping early to be productive early. 

“Pomodoro” timers to focus for short bursts. 

What I’ve learned is that managing time isn’t about doing everything — it’s about doing the right things at the right time. And sometimes, it’s about knowing when to rest so I don’t burn out.

I'm still figuring it out, but so far, having a routine (sleep at 7pm wake up at 3am) has helped me show up for my creativity more  consistently since I arrive at school at exactly 6am which gives me time to further my work. And I can say so far so good. 🙂

What is 2D animation?

              What Is 2D Animation?   2D animation is the art of giving motion to drawings — bringing characters and environments to life through frame-by-frame storytelling. Unlike 3D, which uses digital models and depth, 2D focuses on flat visuals, hand-drawn or digitally drawn, and relies heavily on the principles of motion, timing, and expression. I used to think animation was just cartoons — now I know it's a powerful visual language. 2D animation has been around for over a century, but it continues to evolve. It’s used in films, music videos, explainer videos, games, and even social media content. One thing I’ve realized in this course is how time-consuming but rewarding this artform is. Every tiny movement, every blink or bounce or smile — it all adds up to a visual story that connects with people emotionally. As a 2D animator in training, I’ve learned to appreciate the process behind the magic. From the bouncing ball exercise to keyfr...

My favorite animator

                  My Favorite Animator                       If I had to pick one animator or studio that truly inspires me, it would be me. My work reminds me of the power of simplicity and emotion. What stands out in my animations is how much emotion and detail i put into the smallest works. Whether it’s the color of my hair or the way a character reacts without speaking, my animations feel alive. That’s the kind of depth I've always wanted to reach.  One of my favourite animated pieces I've done is the artworks I've made for my music, the wall decoration I did as a kid in my room which still lives to see the day and the assessment works I've done at NEMISA during the boot camp period . It made me feel alive as a creative and it reminded me why I chose this field. There’s a certain honesty in their art — something that goes beyond entertainment and into the realm of deep story...

The Animal In Me

Image
  If I were an animal, I’d be a panther — quiet but powerful, graceful but sharp. I don’t always roar, but when I move, I move with intention. Like the panther, I observe first. I take my time to study my surroundings, feel the energy, and then create something that surprises even me. In my creative journey, this “animal” shows up in the way I: Trust my instincts Work silently but deeply Choose depth over hype I think everyone has an inner animal. Mine reminds me to move in silence, strike when ready, and always walk with confidence.
