Tell us about @jw.works - what is this page/account about?

I started jw.works as a place to share some nice photos that I took when I had the opportunity to stumble upon — usually photos about interior, cafes & food. Basically anything that caught my attention. I'd also use the account to showcase some of my own works covering graphics works, food styling, calligraphy, photography and my recent interest — baking. I hope to be able to deliver my stories and message through my works.

How did you get into baking despite being a full time professional graphic designer?

I got into the baking trend during the MCO period. Due to the shift to work-from-home, time became flexible thus making it easier to do things that I'm passionate about. I mostly spend the weekends tinkering with baking pastry & making dessert so juggle between work and kitchen fun during this period is pretty much manageable.

You are great in food styling too, with such beautiful visuals of your bakes on your IG account. Does being a graphic designer help in enhancing your creativity in food styling?

Photography, by extension food styling, is generally the interest of a designer as well as an essential skill set. These skill sets and past experiences definitely became an added advantage for my contents. I would usually have a good idea of how I want the outcome to be even before making them.

What is your inspiration for your Matcha Cream Cheese Chocolate Brownies recipe? Why did you choose Matcha for this recipe?

Choosing matcha cream cheese as ideal contrast to the sweetness of brownies, and definitely adding the sophisticated look to the signature marble looking brownie.
