The idea started from a simple observation my brother once made: “You’re like a chameleon.” At the time, it was a casual remark, but it stuck.

In college, while studying graphic design, I found myself constantly dabbling in painting, experimenting with photography, diving into 3D graphics among other things. It wasn’t just about adapting to environments, but about thriving, exploring, and transforming through several creative mediums.

Over the years, that metaphor deepened. Whether I was building brand identities, crafting UI/UX, or developing front-end code, I was constantly evolving. I adapted to suit the medium, the message, and the task at hand.

AlternativeSkin isn’t just a domain name. It reflects my design philosophy: stay flexible, stay curious, and always reimagine what creativity can become.
