The programme will support the area of spatial design in a more holistic way. Interestingly, it is aligned to Kingsmen’s way of designing by storytelling, creating experiences and visual branding. Being transdisciplinary is also important to the business of design. This will better serve the clients, stakeholders, operators and end-users. The audience is ever evolving and there is now the need to design meaningful experiences beyond spatial or visual aesthetics. The programme will facilitate the growth of the industry by providing designers who understand this emerging trend. Kingsmen is excited to see that this programme is going to support the development of such capabilities in Singapore. We will definitely welcome these future designers.Read more

My path has been one of continuous learning, fueled by a love for design and invaluable guidance from lecturers and friends. Each accomplishment, from academic excellence to community involvement, speaks to the power of collaboration and support. I view the honours and recognitions I've received as not just personal successes, but as collective achievements shared with those who've helped me along the way.
As I progress in my journey at NTU, I'm reminded daily that with perseverance, humility, and a supportive network, dreams are not just aspirations, but achievable realities.
