Hello!
A Bit About Me
I am a student of Architecture with a keen interest in media development. I am an idealist in my outlook on humanity but a realist in my work. I am a creative at heart but with a highly pragmatic design ethos. I see the world for what it is but also what it could be, and hope to partake in designing that future through architecture, digital media or any form of human-oriented design.

Portfolios
I majored in Architecture and minored in Interactive Media Development with a focus on game design. I believe that at their core, these disciplines have a lot in common in terms of experience curation, interface design, optimisation, user empathy and more. These design skills straddle the physical and virtual worlds, which are increasingly intertwined. Below are 3 different portfolios, spread across a spectrum from physical to virtual, showcasing some of my works over the past 5 years.
Physical
Architectural Design
A collection of architectural works from my design studio projects, related modules, and competitions.
Print/Digital
Graphic Design
Logos, Merchandise, Posters, Prints, Videos and more. I have dabbled with an array of digital media and graphic design mediums. Some were designed digitally for physical production, while others were for digital use.
Virtual
Game Design
Virtual mediums involve more dynamic interaction between the presenter and participants, as opposed to strictly digital ones. These are a collection of video games I designed or contributed to, and even includes a VR game.
About Me
I have a deep curiosity about the world and a genuine love for experiencing new places. Traveling the globe has shown me that our understanding of time and place often revolves around the built environment; architecture is the language of cities and civilizations. This realisation fuels my passion for architecture and design.
​
Crafts in all forms have been a hobby of mine since I was young. The tactile experience of working with various materials and experimenting with different construction methods has nurtured my love for crafting and shaping the world we live in.
My design interests extend beyond the physical realm. Game design and Extended Realities also involve the artful curation of spaces and the thoughtful consideration of how individuals interact within them. I firmly believe that the integration of virtual and physical has the potential to revolutionize how people experience buildings.
​
Travelling has shown me the power of architecture, crafting fuels my creativity, and digital design excites me. I am on a journey to leave an indelible mark on the world through design, and am always looking for others to share this journey with.
