My upbringing has always had a great influence on my life; both culturally and in my profession as a designer maker. I am a passionate and keen learner of cultural heritages, learning what I can through observation and research. Growing up in Borneo and watching the daily activities of my family, I learned to be conscientious and sensitive in the way I handle and experiment with materials. 

I thoroughly enjoy researching ancient techniques in addition to newer technologies. This incorporation  of new with old is reflected in my work. Experimentation is key to my learning and working process, and I am not shy when it comes to delving into these diverse experiences.
