HOW AND WHERE DID YOUR INTEREST IN DESIGN BEGIN?

I studied Industrial Design at NUS, and that was my first contact with design. Prior to that, I’ve always been interested in fine art and took it as a subject throughout my secondary and tertiary years of education.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY?

It’s not quite a philosophy, maybe more like an approach or attitude, but I believe that the designer plays an important role in pushing the boundaries of material applications, and in creating relevant discourse on new technologies for the future.
