About Me
I'm Cheng En, a multi-disciplinary designer, specializing in graphic, UX, and Ul design based in the vibrant and multicultural city of Singapore.
My design journey began with my love for drawing and doodling, which led me to pursue a Diploma in User Experience (DDUX) and further studies in the Bachelor of Communication Design, which has equipped me with invaluable creative and conceptual thinking skills. My upbringing and experiences here have greatly shaped the way I approach design, fostering a strong sense of and appreciation for inclusivity and representation. I strongly believe in the potential of design to create beneficial transformations and aim to simplify life through design and spreading positivity while making sure all voices are heard and appreciated.
I also run a mini illustrations/stationery store called Paoverse! You may check out my account here: @pao.verse on Instagram!
