KASIA BARNETT Ever since I could hold a pen, glue stick, and successfully use scissors, I crafted my way through projects of all kinds. I modelled my products, designed packaging, developed business models, and constructed every detail down to the receipts – while playing post-office. Frankly, not much has changed. I still bring detail and complexity into my work, have a strong focus on artistic aesthetics, and design holistically. My personal experience with Sensory Processing Disorder has fuelled my interest in sensory-based user experience design, which I aspire to continue exploring in the future. kasiabarnett.com

I have excelled in my studies throughout university and I am excited about what my future and the future of technology will bring. 3-dimension.com

BENNY LAI I have always been the curious type. I had more interest in how people interacted with certain objects than some innocuous toy. I made most of my toys when I was a child not because my parents couldn’t afford it, but because I loved the problem-solving aspect and the satisfaction of completing a project and having something that you made, work. If it was unsuccessful, it was back to trying a different approach, until it was executed to the standard I desired. That same attitude influences my work ethic today; it’s my biggest aspiration to never stop being curious. bennychlai.com

Strangers will have a minimalistic feel through both the apparel designs and the branding.

Wagyu is a breed of cow that is predisposed to producing high-quality beef with intense “marbling�, where more fat forms in the meat to create a juicy, tasty, highly sought after meat. Yakiniku, where you cook your own meat at the table is the preferred way to enjoy Wagyu in Japan - this is something else that we want our customers to enjoy. From a dinner for 2 to a night out with family and friends, Yakiniku can be enjoyed on any occasion!
