I started as a Multimedia Designer in my early career in 2002, the business world but made the unexpected but highly satisfying transition to the academic world in 2014. Working as a Computer Graphic Designer has given me a solid grounding in the art of creating compelling visuals. I am gain title as Senior Lecturer in 2018 at the School of The Arts of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). Currently, I am holding the position of Head of the Graphic Communication Program since 2019. I am a Professional Technologist certified by the Malaysian Board of Technologists (MBOT) as of 2021. Numerous significant roles and challenges have accompanied me on my journey through the constantly evolving ‘design’ world, all of which have influenced how I view design instruction personally. Having mentored so many students (undergraduate and postgraduate) in the past 10 years at the School of The Arts, Universiti Sains Malaysia, I have learnt that self-mastery is not the most straightforward guide to impose on my students. It takes a great deal of self-awareness, clarity of direction, complete honesty with oneself, maturity to accept responsibility, and a strong desire to grow as an individual. And it's a never-ending cycle of personal development and reflection. My varied experiences have come together to form a holistic perspective on the essence of design as I trace my development from a Multimedia Designer to an academic with an appreciation for nurturing creative minds. At this stage in my professional life, I am more committed than ever to encouraging original thought and helping students see the infinite possibilities of innovation in our ever-evolving world.
