Interests

I have enjoyed travelling, and having visited most of Europe independently along with Singapore, New York and Tokyo through my university course, I thoroughly enjoyed absorbing the diverse cultures. I enjoy my design work and like to sketch with no other purpose than to get an idea down on paper, in the hope that it will inspire my work. Other activities I enjoy include walking, visiting the theatre, film, music and enjoying the company of my friends.
