A highly motivated and aspiring young designer with a passion for ideating memorable design concepts at various scales and typologies, I embrace a holistic approach towards creativity and communication with my diverse background in architecture, graphic design and photography. I also enjoy seeking new cultural experiences different from my place of origin to achieve my personal vision of becoming a well-rounded and travelled individual with a diverse set of experiences.
Given my background in design, my strengths have always been creative-focused due in part to the intense, multi-disciplinary nature of my prior architectural training. I happened to learn new skills such as photography – particularly landscape and street photography with relative ease (https://unsplash.com/@larrytwh), while also venturing into creating branding and visual identities in my free time. In addition, I have also written numerous press releases for a small, local architectural firm’s marketing purposes.
I wholly embrace new experiences and opportunities to learn new skills – some of my latest include SEO and Shopify Web Design for ecommerce. I believe that given my hardworking attitude, adaptability and willingness to learn, I will be able to contribute to any team I work with wholeheartedly as a valuable team member and look forward to being part of yours.
