"Jane had said that hope was a survival trait, and now I was starting to understand why. When we face adversity, it is hope that gives us the confidence to rally our indomitable spirit to overcome it." - Douglas Abrams, The Book of Hope

I stand by Palestine. Sail to Gaza. Break the siege. Stop the genocide.

This is humanity.

My recent commission work! A popup food pyramid for ASD children. Commission is open!

I don't support AI art. I designed the popup and managed the production. #commission #paper

We're back on the market grind. This might be the last of the year. I'm selling my book and my old stocks of pop-up greeting cards at both events. Mark your calendars and come say hi!

I just did the best pitch deck ever, and Im proud of it. Not expecting to win, but man, if I had done this, I could have won during my residency. I AM A BUSINESSMAN

Excuse the title. Im still tweaking it, and this title slide is usually the last thing to do.

Every failure has a deeper context. Like, I turned down the brick and mortar concept even though I was the one who wanted it first. But cons weigh more than pros. And I've been seeing more success stories on my fyp that I'm starting to get jealous and comparing. So, I turn to wit.

A finished product starts with very ugly shapes.

Early this week, I had the opportunity to share my book and the art of paper engineer to kids at Sri Aria School in Bukit Jelutong.

I've learnt a lot of things from them and had so much fun.

Thank you to Ms. Fia, other teachers, and the students! #paperengineer

This picture of me trying to make a promotional marketing of my book is hilarious because, it's a metaphor of me being in the spotlight but it's too bright and a little bit blur that I have no clue what I'm doing 'cept that I have a book published.

Malaysian 🇲🇾 Paper Engineer @mattmadestudios.bsky.social · Jul 10

Honestly, real. I went to a public library and spotted a few popup books. All of the popups were damaged heavily. Hurts my heart so bad, but they are kids...

Malaysian 🇲🇾 Paper Engineer @mattmadestudios.bsky.social · Jul 4

Omg the photo arrangement messed up. Im still new to this guys... millennial age showing.

Malaysian 🇲🇾 Paper Engineer @mattmadestudios.bsky.social · Jul 4

Yello poppers! (Placeholder name for you fans) It is with great news that I finally can say I am a pop-up book publisher.

I have a new vision ahead for Matt Made Studios, and I hope you're following along. Here's to more popup books Made in Malaysia.

Fold, glue, fold, glue,
That's the rhythm of an assembling line of the paper engineer.

We're almost there to wrap up this project. In a months time, it would be a whole year working on this alone.

A lot has been happening in 6 months. The downside of this is that while everyone is asking me to get help, I am absolutely in no position to do so because of funding.

My undiagnosed ADHD brain goes brr. Still, grateful to be able to keep going. I wonder what will I achieve before the end of year..
