We speak to the industrial turned-textile designer on why she decided to go into the world of textiles, and find out more about the unique works that were a result of the switch.
HOW AND WHERE DID YOUR INTEREST IN DESIGN BEGIN?
I studied Industrial Design at NUS, and that was my first contact with design. Prior to that, I’ve always been interested in fine art and took it as a subject throughout my secondary and tertiary years of education.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY?
It’s not quite a philosophy, maybe more like an approach or attitude, but I believe that the designer plays an important role in pushing the boundaries of material applications, and in creating relevant discourse on new technologies for the future.
