I am a designer working full time as a technology consultant. My career aspiration is to make a transition from my current industry into digital design.

My Story

​Ever since I was young, I always had a passion for anything creative. I felt at home when I was sketching, painting, singing or writing poems. These interests developed throughout my life - I started writing songs and developing an art style.

​Later in life, I studied engineering and computer systems. I got exposed to innovative technology, media and how we all interact in this digital age. I learnt about design and realised how much it shapes the world we live in. During my late uni years, a growing passion for the field emerged.

​I realised that while art enables me to express myself, design would enable me to help others express their vision.

Design ties into the core of who I am

• ​someone who digs deep to understand people and what motivates them
• someone who is analytical and enjoys solving problems
• someone who loves being creative and bringing something new into the world

To learn more about design, ​I have been taking on every opportunity I can in my current organisation to gain some design experience while simultaneously doing self-study and professional study. I have:

• taken a lead role in communications for an internal initiative
• redesigned internal webpages
• designed an application that is being used to recruit graduates into the company.
• self-learnt design tools like the Adobe Creative Suite and Figma and have applied this knowledge in personal projects. 

Studying has been a great way to deepen my conceptual understanding of design and apply it (particularly in digital publishing and web so far), while getting critique to improve my process and execution.

​​I am looking ahead for bigger and better opportunities to practice my skills, deliver and make an impact.
