I am a designer and restless adventurer. I apply both visual design, photography, and filmmaking to help engage people to share their stories, spread knowledge and create meaningful impact.
I graduated from Whitecliffe College of Art & Design in 2014, majoring in Graphic Design. For the past three years, I have been freelancing and working closely with several local and grassroots organisations as well as working in small in-house environments. My projects have ranged from print design, branding, video production, photography, and web design.
The creative arts will always play a significant role in the way we interact and reflect on our society and various cultural backgrounds. For me, it has been a way of expressing ideas and perspectives in a way that speaks true to me as well as a way of life that has connected me to other creatives, something in which I take great joy in doing.
Despite working primarily as a freelancer I have found that it is through a team that I have achieved my best potential. I have learnt that having an environment to question, develop and collaboratively refine ideas informs greater creativity. The challenges of working both solo and in a team environment ultimately fuel my ambition to do better and maintain a personally high standard in the work that I produce.
