“During my school year, I strongly believed any related work experience will be a gain. I tried to take on many volunteering and design project as possible and not worry about the rest. Important thing to remember is your experience needs to be relevant.”

How did you get started in your career?

I got into motion design while I was in third year. I found myself more comfortable when trying to lay ideas on storyboard. Designing on screen felt like less restriction with endless possibilities. Idea of designing time was very interesting because I was able to play around with more dimension.

Around that time I met a few directors from CTV who came to our motion graphics class to do presentation. I kept in contact with them for around 2 years sending portfolio and resume. I was able to get in as freelancer after graduation.
