I chose this icon of a tiger to represent my website because it has been my favorite animal since I was a little kid. I was born in south India, and the bengal tiger is the national animal of India, so this captures some of my Indian heritage. I have little-to-no experience in photoshop, butContinue reading “Kool Tiger”
I chose the image of a dinosaur fossil because it reminds me of the vastness of time and the brevity of our time on the planet. Dinosaurs were around for 165 million years, and our lifespan is negligible in comparison. This perspective pushes me forward in my day-to-day life as I avoid getting too workedContinue reading “VAST”
Sweet herb, a soothing Vietnamese tea, is what I would consider my gateway to the world of tea. This avatar is a representation of my appreciation for tea. The design of the foam shows the letter “a” connected to the letter “e”, which are my initials. This is likely to change as I think ofContinue reading “AVATAR”
One of my favorite hobbies is to watch anime and read manga. I love observing the artistry and creativity that goes into creating these works.

As a table tennis athlete, I want to showcase my athletic side through using a real photo of me in action instead of converting it to an avatar or cartoon version. Having competed internationally on the US National Team for the last 8 years, it has become a crucial aspect of my identity and hasContinue reading “Table Tennis and Art Pairing”
Back when I was in middle school, one of my gamer names was “coolcroc11” and I’ve always envisioned this crocodile as wearing a fedora and sunglasses. Since this is a class focused on new media, I figured that an avatar pertaining to my experience with a type of new media would be most appropriate. ToContinue reading “Avatar”
Hoping to create an avatar that resembles my appearance, my initial idea was to find an online application that would automatically turn a real photo of me into a cartoon-like picture. However, all of the applications I came across required subscription fees that made me reconsider other possibilities and adjust my plan. Ultimately, I decidedContinue reading “Avatar”

I personally like ACG culture very much, and this is one of the characters I like most. This image not only reveals my interests, but it also looks like that she is going into a magic portal, which connects toContinue reading “Avatar”
