Graphic Designer, Creative Artworker and DTP.

Generating ideas and to take these strategic concepts and create visual representations in both print and electronic media.

What inspires or excites you, and why?
Nature and Design. Just as nature provides peace, tranquillity and growth, so does one’s journey as a designer. Always growing and always evolving. True growth begins when you dare to design and grow beyond the familiar edges.

If salary weren’t a factor, what job would you do?
Volunteering to teach creative art and help under-privileged kids. Inspiring their imagination to express their creativity and having a safe space to embrace their authenticity. I think this stems from not having much as kid as I grew up, I realised there’s so much more to life than just wealth. The world is made up of 7 billion people & more, one act of random kindness will always outweigh everything else in the world.
