Communication Design

I have graduated from Swinburne University with a degree in Communication Design. With a large amount of effort, I have received the Pathways Access Scholarship and a Student Achievement Award from Swinburne during my final year of study. My testimony can be found on the website of Swinburne University under Advanced Diploma of Graphic Design.

I have five years of extensive working and volunteering experience as a Graphic Designer. I am confident in the use of Adobe software, especially Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator through study and work experience. I am familiar with web design and understand HTML language. I have developed time management and other interpersonal skills to meet client requirements in a timely and professional manner. Besides English, I speak, read and write fluent Chinese.

I have experience in setting overall creative design strategy. I have a strong strategic understanding of traditional and content marketing through conducting throughout research, data collection and analysis of constraints, opportunities, and seeing the bigger picture through the lens of the clients, gain insights of the market and target audience in a holistic way to create unique selling point.

By the grace of God, I have been blessed with a job to work as a graphic designer since 2016. My company Greenlux provides LED lighting to commercial sites nationally. I oversee the maintenance of the company website, and the design of product specification sheets, email fliers and catalogues. Last year I have helped the company website to move to a new domain using WordPress.

Acknowledgement of Country

The School of Design and Architecture respectfully acknowledges the Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners and knowledge-keepers of the lands, waters and sky that surround us, where we work, learn, create, communicate and make place. We recognise that sovereignty has never been ceded and this always was and will always be Wurundjeri Country. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who continue to make a better world through design.

We extend our acknowledgement to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, students, alumni, real-life clients, and knowledge keepers, who have contributed to our own education diversity and growth. We will continue to ensure that staff and students respectfully honour ancestral connection to Country and Place in everything that they do.

We are dedicated to the notion of design to make a better world and we acknowledge that making tools, shaping place, sharing stories, making meaning, wayfinding and collaborating have long been and continue to be both central and integral to First Peoples' cultures. We recognize that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ cultural contributions have continued relevance to design practice and commit to: reconciling ancestries of design and contemporary practice as well as pursuing culturally and professionally appropriate ways to engage with a diverse population of colleagues, industries and clients. In a time of treaty-making and voice we understand that there are overlaps between caring for Country and the sustainable production of goods, services, experiences, products and buildings.

Guided by the principles of respect, reconciliation, and reciprocity we undertake to indigenising and decolonising design practice by dismantling colonial structures and challenging biases that have marginalised Indigenous voices and design.

As students of SoDA you will be given opportunities to both engage with and educate yourself in Indigenous creative practices and cultural protocols through a lens of inclusivity, diversity, respect, mutual understanding, inter-cultural dialogue in all aspects of design practice. Indigenous people have been telling stories, making tools, and connecting to Country through visual media, placemaking and place marking for more than 60,000 years and these practices are part of an ongoing, evolving and live tradition.
