About me

Growing up, my parents emphasised the importance of learning historical contexts in order to have an understanding of the world. This has led to a passion for seeking knowledge on societal issues and creating spaces where others can do the same. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Interior Design at RMIT and have been exploring ways to create spaces that invite open conversations on controversial societal issues through both interior design and film. In my spare time, I enjoy visiting exhibitions, reading, and hiking.
"The Westpac Asian Exchange Scholarship is making it possible for me to gain a deeper understanding on creating sustainable interior designs, and film techniques that prioritise creating affective scenes. Beyond financial support, this scholarship is making it possible to connect to a community of like minded individuals."
