Press Theory
Press Theory is a collection of analytical pieces where I applied sociological and media theories to real-world news stories. Across topics such as the attention-seeking phenomenon in today's online culture, Hunger and Human Rights, and Cultural Memory and Identity in the 2000s, I examined how current events today are linked to social theories that have been studied throughout our human lives.
Through these articles, I developed a strong ability to connect theory to lived reality, analysing framing, agenda-setting, and symbolic narratives to reveal the hidden structures behind everyday media. This strengthened my skills in critical analysis, research writing, and interpreting how language shapes collective understanding.
To Singapore, From Singapore
To Singapore, From Singapore is a youth-led magazine I created to celebrate the voices, reflections, and creative work of Singaporeans. The magazine provides a space for local youths to share stories, art, opinions, and memories — especially in a society where personal expression can sometimes feel limited. Our goal is to give young creatives a platform to shape their own narrative of the little red dot.
In building this project, I designed the concept, wrote the editorial direction, and crafted a community-focused space that encourages authenticity and connection. It reflects my passion for storytelling, cultural identity, and creating meaningful platforms where young people can express who they are and what Singapore means to them.
At Access, a social mobility charity in Singapore, I work as a workshop facilitator who contributes to bridging the gap for disadvantaged students by facilitating career exposure opportunities.
Through partnerships with global and local companies, I help provide guidance for career exploration and mentorship, empowering financially, socially, or academically disadvantaged youths to thrive in their future careers.
In this role, I've learned the value of equitable access to opportunities and the impact of mentorship on shaping young minds. I'm constantly inspired by the resilience and potential of students from diverse backgrounds, and I'm committed to supporting their journey towards a brighter future.
Restaurant Web Design
I designed a website concept for a fine dining restaurant using Balsamiq Wireframes, with a focus on enhancing the customer experience.
The site included features such as a seating selection system for reservations, a date-and-time picking system that allows users to personalise their choices, and a booking review page for users to double-check their booking details.
I learned how to balance aesthetics with functionality, ensuring the site was visually appealing while still being easy for users to navigate and interact with.
