My name is Cynthia, and I’m a third-year design student at the University of Auckland. For me, design has never been about right or wrong answers—it’s a way to express how I feel and communicate that with the world. My curiosity began early through calligraphy, tracing letters, and sketching shapes to see what they could become. That same drive has carried me through spatial and environmental design, graphic and product design, and into screens and interfaces, where I’ve explored digital design and user experience. I see design as an open space for experimentation: each project is an opportunity to translate emotion into form, test new ideas, and discover what unexpected outcomes can happen when creativity leads.
