Although having a background in Architectural Studies before entering Glasgow School of Art Singapore to pursuit a degree in Interior Design, I was uncertain of a career in the design field until my experience working at an Architect’s practice, where I was able to realise projects from sketch to screen to completion. My time at the GSA has taught me to appreciate the influence of Art on Spatial design and to look at design in a different way.
