About

Graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic's Film, Sound & Video (Diploma) and Nanyang Technological University, School of Art, Design and Media (Bachelor of Fine Arts in Media Art, Honours — Highest Distinction). Lee Kuan Yew Gold Medallist and Valedictorian, Class of 2025. Specialisation in Filmmaking.

My focus lies within the way we interact, lie to, and love one another. I want to emphasise the unique culture of my hometown Singapore at the forefront of my works — I believe we each have stories that no one else can tell.

Currently, I am interested in themes of personal growth and change, and how people communicate what is important to them with one another.

I think we should leave the world a funnier, more honest place than when we first arrived.
