In order to give me a holistic education during my time in Ngee Ann Polytechnic, I had multiple modules that needed me to use creatives. From understanding how a design affects marketing and advertising, to sitting us in a room to mould us into aspiring designers, Mass Communication ensured us the best basis learning to know what it takes to be in the media industry.

During my time in Ngee Ann Polytechnic, I was the Head of Marketing for Stage52, an events and production CCA. Part of my job was to create creatives to market the events that we planned. 

Events such as Hair for Hope (in collaboration with the Children's Cancer Foundation), Scarefest, and an annual play (adaptations of local playwrights) were part of our expertise.

​ Applications used: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe After Effects. (AE is self-taught)

Along with my team of five, we created different collaterals to market the play to the whole campus. From tickets to posters, to our own playbills, my team created it all. These were the items I designed for the event.

at that time, i was very interested in vectors and layering. in the midst of searching for my design style, i had to go through periods of bad work, which helps me form my best work today.

THREADLIGHTLY is the thrift store I started. We believe in optimal intersectionality. The aim of THREADLIGHTLY is to work towards making the world a lot more inclusive, a lot more positive. We want to make a change and we are thankful to have like-minded people supporting us all the way. 

My main job scope besides handling finance, would be Social Media Managing and creating graphics for social media pages and adverts.

Currently, Threadlighly sits on the second floor of Queensway Shopping Centre. Although no longer non-profit, we still donate a portion of our sales every month to our chosen monthly beneficiary. Most recently, our beneficiaries have been The Project Hills, TwilightLOVE, ItsRainingRaincoats, and OogaChaga.

As part of my curriculum while at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, I had to go on an internship. I was one of the three students picked out of the pool to go to Honolulu, Hawaii from 4th September to 8th February for an internship with Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC), a non-profit IT company. ​ PTC brings together people from all over the globe to attend their event (PTC'19), to learn and share about the new and upcoming technological advancements happening in their side of the world, all while connecting with each other. The event is mainly a 3-day course filled with speaker sessions, workshops, and more.

My title was 'Conference Assistant'. My job was focused around creating EDMs, event display, development of the PTC’19 Mobile App. I was also the in charge of liaison for the Young Scholar Program, the speakers at the conference as well as co-lead in co-ordinating volunteer recruitment.

​Applications used during internship: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe After Effects, Mosaic, Omar the TentMaker.
