Hello, I’m
KOH YUAN YIN Thanks for taking time to learn about me Here’s something about me I am highly motivated, passionate and enthusiastic about art, design and science in general. I am keen to spread my ideas and emotion through art and design. To be a good designer, one must have the eye for beauty and aesthetics, a critical mind, a good listening skill, a skillful hands in making things and a feeling of empathy towards people. And I think I have what it takes to be a good designer.
