New Website Design

in /by

Say hello to a fresh new look for my website! There are two main reasons for this update:

1. Other than the improved aesthetics, the function of the website is also improved. It used to be quite a hassle to update works on the website, hence I have decided to have a content management system to power the website.

2. This new design allows for better usability for visitors like you. I also hope it’s easier to navigate through my works now.

Feel free to look around and please do not hesitate to give me some feedback. Cheers!
