Working on something? ismini.papa.1998@gmail.com

Okay.
The unfiltered version.

Six years in advertising, a Nintendo DSi, a few questionable decisions, and a tattoo that somehow ties it all together.
There's a story here.

Some things never change.

2010.

12-year-old me trying to be creative on a Nintendo DSi.
No clue that this would eventually become my job.
But here we are.

Sound on. It's 2010, after all.

About that switch...

A red tattoo of a light switch on the back of Ismini's neck, labelled ON at the top and ON at the bottom
Fresh.

Fun fact: the switch is real.
It's actually tattooed on my back.
And if you look closely, it doesn't say ON / OFF.

ON / ON

So yes, there are two versions of this website. But mostly, I'm just me. All the time.
