12: What's unique about Singaporean designers? (Part 2)
04/23/23 • 33 min
In the second part of this episode, we're covering the Singaporean traits to...kick! 🦵🏼⚽️
What is it that makes us designers uniquely Singaporean? It’s not just designers who were born here, but also designers who have been based in Singapore for a long time. They certainly may have picked up some local traits along the way.
There's a lot of articles or videos in the web exploring what makes us uniquely Singaporean - be it queuing up for bubble tea, chope-ing tables with tissue, dropping lingos like "kena arrowed" then "bo bian" so just "lan lan suck thumb".
We decided to do the same by asking ourselves how these uniquely Singaporean traits crosses design and answer this question - what makes Singaporean designers unique?

13: Chilli Padi 🌶️ - Finding design mentorships
Mentorship is such a beautiful thing - getting guidance from someone more experienced as you navigate your career as a designer. Finding a gem of a mentor, someone who is avuncular, who has the patience and passion can even transform the mentorship into a friendship you can keep! If there's one thing Hsuan regrets in her design career, is not actively seeking for a mentor early :") And that's something Adilah has done very well. Don't be a Hsuan; listen to this episode where we list down ways to find mentors easily in Singapore and internationally!
