Class of 2020
Swan & Maclaren Gold Medal

Joining Singapore Polytechnic through the Polytechnic Foundation Programme (PFP) had been a goal of mine. Since my secondary school days, I had envisioned myself studying here, knowing that I was going to have many opportunities and that I was going to be in good hands.

During my Diploma study, I took part in a number of local and International design competitions, clinching the SPADE Spatial Design Award for Hospitality Category 2018 and International Building Design Competition 2019 from Interior Design Confederation Singapore (IDCS) and Building and Construction Authority (BCA) respectively. These competitions not only allowed me to apply what I have learnt in an authentic setting but at the same time, broaden my perspective and allowed me to achieve beyond my perceived limits.

I owe much of my success to my caring and supportive lecturers. They have been my pillars of support especially during stressful times. Their unwavering support and genuine friendship made me believe in my abilities and also made my journey in SP an unforgettable one. Thank you for being a part of my journey and for allowing me to be a part of yours.
