SIM XIN FENG // 沈心鳳
Hello, I am Xin Feng, a creative based in Singapore who is constantly on the lookout for a tough problem to solve.
Before receiving a BFA in Interactive Media from Nanyang Technological University, I worked as a Creative Designer specialising in branding, graphic design, illustration and publication design. During this period, I was also my colleagues unofficial IT Support Personnel and fixing problems ranging from router issues, website CMS queries, to replacing laptop parts.
I picked up set/props fabrication and woodworking in the local theatre industry so that I could build interactive spaces for children and adults. However, my insatiable itch for coding never left me, which led me to learn about animatronics. In 2020, I researched, programmed and built an animatronic puppet (Case Study) under The Maker’s Lab, an inaugural experimental research programme created by The Finger Players. My experience in making now forms a core part of my design-thinking process, where I seek to strike a balance between form and function.
I am now learning about generative art, so that I can find meaningful ways of bringing technology into graphic design.
If I am not designing, I can be found playing a game of hide-and-seek with my 3 cats.
