I present myself as an individual not bound by any borders. Raised by multicultural parents and growing up in culturally diverse cities, the concept of home profoundly affects my everyday encounters, especially my design practice. My search for a sense of place and belonging in the physical and intangible world has resulted in my design practice to be centred around “togetherness”. This sense of displacement has positively aided me in my understanding of the relationship between a “home” and an individual. My interests are focused on how the socio-political geography of urban landscapes influence and affect the behaviours, cultures and practices of their inhabitants. My works therefore attempt to explore the interactions between spatial relationships and the sensitive politics of societies. I often employ 3d animation methods (Blender, Unreal Engine) to visualise these concepts. I am also extremely passionate about the environment, and am focused on keeping my design process low waste. I believe in the power of collectivity and my design aims to bring different cultures and identities together. This strong sense of empathy inspired by the joy of collaboration from my hobbies of playing basketball and making music, has made me determined to create designs that help others in redefining what “home” means to them. As I don’t see myself solely as a “designer” but more as an advocate, design to me is merely the tool by which I am able to best convey my interests. I keep my practice in design largely multi-disciplinary, and see myself existing in many fields of design, always staying close to the ground. My work has always revolved around that idea of togetherness, especially in fields where there is asignificant lack of it. I feel that design as an industry should evolve with a strong sense of empathy. With that in mind, I aim to identify the systematic and habitual discriminations that exist outside the design world, and address them to the public through the medium of design. As emerging design practices begin to directly address global social political and ecological concerns, I hope to also place myself in the centre of that field. The need for a community-centric and collaborative mindset in such fields is something that resonates with me on both a personal and professional scale. As design collectives continue to expand from small studios to large corporations, I hope to utilise both my design and team-centric work ethic to retain that synergistic quality of sharing and discussion in the design world.…I present myself as an individual not bound by any borders.
