AkiTaka

Hey, everyone! My real name is Jean-Luc Belanger, though since 2015, I went by the pseudonym of Akira Takahashi/AkiTaka online, due to my strong admiration of Cross-Pacific culture and values and a desire to strengthen relations between the opposing sides. Ever since I was a child, I've always wanted to find ways to set a good example for my community and city as a starting point, primarily assisting them through the power of effective communication through the arts and technology, in mediums such as manga, written literature, online campaigns, and so on. To date, I’ve had 6 years of experience with GiMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) ranging from 2014 to 2020, 2 years of Adobe Creative Cloud ranging from 2019 to 2021, and now 2 year of experience with Serif's Affinity Suite, which I currently use for my work, plus 3 to 5 years of online presence management ranging from the utilization of Twitter to managing my WordPress website. As 2023 comes in, I want to continue the creative adventure I embarked on, but for a long time, despite having the tendency of being a one-man army in the creative and management department, I've known I can't do everything alone. As much as I care about fulfilling the needs and desires of my community as well as others', I hope you will consider pitching in every now and then so I can continue to cultivate it. It means very much to me as much as it will mean well to you.
