I’m working on a short illustrated children’s book that introduces JavaScript concepts using simple language and playful toys.

The base version will be free, and there’s a colorful extended edition with bonus coding bits you can buy if you’d like.

Here’s a little sneak peek!👇

Couldn’t decide between colour and black&white, so I went with both.

Upside-down photo showing the reflection of a tall modern building and trees in a pond. The reflection is in colour, while the actual scene below is in black and white, creating a split visual effect.

Grateful for the chance to travel and stumble upon places like this.
A narrow cobblestone alley lined with potted plants and small outdoor tables, leading to a white building in the background. Sunlight casts soft shadows across the scene.

Spotted this cat two days ago, keeping a watchful eye on the neighbourhood and silently judging you.

How to Stay Sane in an Age of Division by Elif Shafak
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really loved this book! Despite its short length, it powerfully captures the complexities and fractures of today’s society.

Quote by Elif Shafak from the book How to Stay Sane in an Age of Division: “If the feeling of not being heard persists and becomes routine, it will gradually close off our ears and our hearts.”

A close-up of an old, partially open wooden door. A black cat is barely visible in the darkness behind the door, with only its eyes showing. The ground in front of the door is a mix of worn concrete and dark cobblestones.
