I am an independent artist and creative designer with a specialty in graphic and layout design. Finding inspiration in the rich heritage and culture of my Malay lineage, I challenge stereotypes through a mix of new and old media.

Publication/Work:
1. Original artwork: A series of original drawings on paper inspired by palindromes. Words that read the same forwards and backwards. My work plays with symmetry, reflection, and repetition, creating pieces that invite people to slow down and look twice. It’s about challenging straight-line thinking, where beginnings and endings blur, and meaning can shift when reversed.
2. Recipe Book: A recipe booklet/zine that contains recipes of Malay food paired with wine.

Short Bio of Booth Partner: As a graphic designer, I’m drawn to tactile, off-screen processes and am currently exploring risograph printing. My work isn’t tied to a fixed style—it's guided by curiosity, from playful observations of daily life to overlooked textures in public spaces. Lately, I’ve been using a portable scanner to collect visual fragments, piecing them together like a diary. This hands-on approach brings back the instinctive joy of childhood collaging. Through this project, I hope to rediscover creative freedom and explore spontaneous expression through the possibilities of riso.

Publication/Work: A zine of visual scans and found textures collected on foot, capturing everyday beauty through abstract layout play and the lens of a curious observer. This zine is a quiet study of urban life—assembled from visual scans, found textures, and typographic fragments. It’s a tactile exploration of surface details that often go unnoticed, like the gentle chaos of the city. Risograph printing felt like the perfect vehicle for this, with its vivid colours and charming inconsistencies. Through abstract layout play and an observational lens, I aim to capture the everyday beauty that surrounds us, reframing the mundane into moments of quiet fascination.
