About
I have achieved many goals in the past majoring in Product Design & Marketing firms. I am keen in expanding and securing new challenges. During my employments, I have handled various levels of design and marketing roles all in a professionally and efficient manner using my own knowledge and any available resources.
I am trilingual able to speak in a professional manner with clients locally or overseas in English, Cantonese and i able to converse casually in Mandarin, I strive to improve language skills to compete in the competitive global market.
My focus and interest in design is towards Consumer Product, Toy and Interior/Exhibition Design with a driven style to design for solutions creating aesthetically pleasing conceptual designs with a good knowledge of engineering, materials, aesthetics and ergonomics on hand. My style is simple and I always design with one principle: KISS ("keep it simple, stupid") if something does not add content to value then it is something that is not required.
Having Trained as a Product Designer it has given me the foundation and skills to mould myself into a all rounded successful Exhibition Designer.
Please contact me for my portfolio website or give me an email and I will send you a copy in PDF format if that is your preference.
