[Objective]
As quoted by Milton Glaser, “There are three responses to a piece of design—
yes, no, and WOW!” WOW is definitely what I aim for in every project I take on. Uniqueness, originality and perfection have always been my core principles. Thus, I want to be a part of a team that values creativity and works towards bringing about a change through design.
