About
Sim Xin Feng // 沈心鳳
I describe myself as a hybrid between design and technology, birthed from my interest in coding and design. I am currently freelancing as a designer. Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions or if you have a problem to fix (non-living objects only please).
Background
Before receiving my 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 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 organised by The Finger Players.
Hobbies
When I am not designing, I can be found:
- with a Role-Playing Game.
- binge-watching videos on animatronics or puppetry.
- swimming.
