UNIFORM x ACRE: Patches — Tuned And Tooled

I’m currently studying Object and Jewellery Design at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts.
I’m inspired by conceptual art and sculpture, so what drew me to it was the combination of the aesthetic aspect of art with the practical aspects of design.

Who are some artists or designers who inspire you?
Music is also a big part of my life, so I’m inspired by musicians who were ahead of their time, like Jimi Hendrix.

What are your comfort foods?
It’s a little weird but I like spicy food, like tom yam. I’ve tried some extremely spicy foods just as a challenge or a dare, but I didn’t enjoy them.

What does comfort mean to you?
I like listening to and playing music, so comfort is having the space and time to relax and play my electric guitar. I mostly do it by myself, but it’s nice to have the company of friends too.

Share with us something not many people know about you:
I like to think of life as a music video, where I’m the main character, and the music is just playing in the background.
