About 

I am a well presented, highly passionate designer based in Lincolnshire. I have studied 4 years degree in Interior Architecture over 2 countries, Malaysia and United Kingdom. I have gained knowledge and work experiences as a project manager in a 3D visualising firm and as a graphic designer in a digital marketing firm and a event planning studio. 

I am eager to learn and I love to express myself through art and design. I am huge people-person and I will never give up on chasing my dream to becoming a professional designer by implementing innovative ideas through designs and architecture in every day environment. I want to gain as much of international experiences as I can, while I still have the time to explore and discover what the design industry has to offer! 

I am currently doing freelancing in graphic design and 3D visuals. I am the go-to person among my circle of friends and family when it comes to designing interiors, posters, invitations, party set up. While I'm not working, I am usually editing videos, baking desserts, volunteering in kids and media ministry at church, and occasionally travel around the world.

My areas of expertise are interior design, space planning, conceptual ideas, freehand sketching and 3D visuals and graphic design.
