I believe in the designer as a student and collector of the world, a curious wandering soul, and a discerning communicator – the Designer as Flaneur. Every experience has value. As a designer-flaneur, I believe in having the right attitude and mindset, to recognise that there is value in all things and embrace different perspectives. I love how design makes a difference and I want to be part of it.

The arts scene in Singapore is buzzing, what with Sonny Liew’s haul at the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards for his graphic novel The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye. Many are excited about what this could mean for the local illustration community that has been blooming steadily since the Organisation of Illustrators Council (OIC) was formed in 2006. Through their concerted efforts, Singapore’s skilled illustrators are receiving more attention than ever.
