About Me

Hi, I’m Shaqin. I enjoy quiet things—like taking photos, writing, and making small handmade crafts.  I also work with maps, water modeling, and field surveys. My job is technical, but I like to make it clear and kind for others. I believe in fair work, slow creativity, and learning step by step. This blog is my calm space to share stories, small moments, and things I make with care.  Sometimes it’s a donut. Sometimes it’s a diagram. Sometimes it’s just a quiet thought from the day. my painting :P
