When I reflect on my three years in the University of Raffles Graphic design program, I conclude that the experience not only made me a better designer, but also prepared me in unpredictable ways for my career. Through workshops with incredibly supportive classmates, and lecturers who were nothing short of champions, I was challenged to discover a voice I didn’t know I had. That voice has played a central role in my work, as graphic design is vital to thinking, to imagination, to communication, and to engagement.
