Hello, I’m Char

Creative and innovative ideas executed in a professional manner is what my work is all about. I pride myself in excelling under pressure, professional collaborative attitude and great people skills. I have an extensive experience as part of an award-winning creative team for a multi-disciplinary Design Firm. I’m also currently the Volunteer Chair for Inneract Project and am responsible for encouraging more volunteers to join IP and establishing relationships with other design organizations in the community.
