Aureole Design
I am a typography major from United Kingdom and practised as a graphic designer for a couple of years after returning to Kuala Lumpur. My passion for furniture and lighting design spurred me to explore beyond the two-dimensional. I collaborate mostly with makers in my design production, understanding the characteristics of materials and production techniques contributes to an important aspect of my design development and process. My approach to design is within the context of simplicity – be it in the purity of lines or the unadorned elegance of a material. Within this, the richness of Asian culture inspires the process before being translated into a form which allows its design and materials to accent the finished product.
