About Me

I am a multi-disciplinary creative with professional training in Fine Art and Design. I have lived and received my tertiary studies in Singapore, and pursued my master degree in Fashion and Clothing Design in Helsinki, Finland. I switch roles between creator, designer, artist and lecturer for over a decade during the milestone of my career. Mainly base in Singapore and travelling between Singapore and Malaysia, I also participate in different art & design exhibitions overseas.

My area of practice is diverse, the main categories are visual arts, photography, graphic design, clothing & textile prints design. My job scopes involve creative & art direction, conceptualisation, visualisation, design (fashion and graphic), illustration, photoshoot, styling and textile manipulation. I am proficient with Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere, Microsoft Words, Power Point, Pages, Keynotes.

I was commissioned to work with numerous Singapore arts & design organisations/label, namely National Gallery Singapore, Design Singapore, OKTO Channel (for the art segment, the channel has closed in May 2019), Booksactually (an independent book store), KITCHEN. LABEL, FARM. My most recent artistic collaboration includes Telok Ayer Arts Club and Singapore Tourism Board.

I consider myself an all-rounder. That has been an advantage in the works I involved with and an added value to the role I was assigned in a company. I am also an educator who impart knowledge in the area related to arts & design as mentioned earlier. My subject matter in fashion and clothing design focus on sustainability in design and fashion consumption, re-purposing materials (up-cycling), and critical thinking.

I was featured on Unknown Asia Art Exchange Osaka in 2016, an art fair for visual artists across Asia. I was awarded the Judge Prize from Jam Factory Bangkok, Masakazu Takei Award from the representative of Foil Gallery Kyoto, and Mayumi Matsubara Award from the founder of interior coordination office I IN CO., LTD.

I am also one part of The Picnic/路邊野餐. It is an artist studio that integrates art into experience, in hope to offer a different perspective towards life through our artistic articulation expressed through the art of tea, site-specific space curatorial, and provocations that trigger our thoughts and senses.
