Biography
I’m a 3D modeler and animator from Singapore and am currently working on my thesis film, “Head in the Clouds” as a computer animation senior at Ringling College of Art and Design. I love telling fun and heartwarming stories, and hope to spread positivity to inspire others through my art work. I have been a huge advocate of volunteering and bridging art with service. Today, I am leading a team of students to develop a hybrid 2D/3D short film in the form of a children's picture book for the non-profit organization, Children First. I also volunteer with the Lazarus Program on campus and Asians in Animation. Other fun pursuits include cooking and vlogging!
