I can change the world.
I had always imagined that only the greatest inventors, mathematicians or scientists but hardly designers, would be the people who would most likely be able to change the world. This is especially so in Singapore, where the design industry is still in its infancy and developing. I have just graduated from LCC (London College of Communication), and consider myself fortunate to be given the opportunity to develop my interest in Interaction Design, and above all, enjoying what I am doing.
The best thing about Interaction design is that it fosters the ability to evoke emotion in people and the creativity it stimulates in a world of ever-changing technological platforms. My projects revolve around what already exists within the human sphere, around human identity and ubiquitous objects. Exploring beauty in the everyday, interaction design can help people to appreciate and understand the world around them.
I want to think of fresh new ideas such as creating simple objects like Maywa Denki’s ‘Knockman Family’, that can brighten someone’s day, or something innovative in the footsteps of Ideo, which can change the way people live. Slowly but surely, after gaining more work experience and exposure in the industry, I hope to translate those ideas into reality. I will then be confident to dare say that I am on my way to changing the world.
