Inspiration for This Work

You’re looking at this website now!

This is the first year that the COFA ANNUAL exhibition will be available online as a dedicated website for visitors to explore. With new functionality such as tagging, ability to link to individual students and a variety of search options, it was important to offer an experience that is easily approachable for both familiar visitors and those new to exploring student graduation exhibitions.

Student Biography

I see myself as an artist, a designer and particularly a problem solver, with three main areas of practice: in web and interactive media, photomedia and digital video.

I was born in Hong Kong in 1985, where I spent my early childhood years, before moving to Sydney with my family in 1993. I have since steadily developed an interest in digital media, especially after being drawn to the new and exciting thing that was ‘the web’ in 1997 and also following my father’s interest in photography.

For me, interactive media is primarily about human interaction and designing user experiences that are engaging, yet highly functional and efficient at communicating. Even though I am adept at and still enjoy the technical and aesthetic sides of producing websites, I find it most challenging just trying to understand how people think. I can then design information architecture and rewarding experiences for visitors with this in mind.

In photomedia and digital video, I enjoy the opportunity to capture the world as I see i while sharing and observing everyone’s varying perspectives. I enjoy making documentary films, where I can document reality through stories that need to be told. I am also fascinated with colour and photograph a great deal of landscapes and architecture.

Hopefully the future will allow me to keep my options open with different projects in my areas of practice, including working internationally.
