The speakers will also share their works, insights and their inspiring adventures navigating a non-traditional career path against the odds.Entry is free; admission by RSVP only. BIOS:Jackie Goh, The Fingersmith Letterpress is a letterpress printing studio based in Singapore specializing in hand lettering and illustration.Established in 2013, its founder, Jackie, cranks out her kooky creations with ‘Klaus’, a Heidelberg “Windmill” in a backyard studio dug out from a piece of garden land highly coveted by her parents as vegetation space. Besides the love of being covered in ink, she enjoys tinkering with her analog cameras and dabbles in occasional woodwork.We thought hard about our mission, something to stand out from the masses of today's digerati; but in truth, all we want is to create works from the random things that inspire us in life, dabble in not-so-serious projects, caress paper and sniff ink.www.thefingersmithletterpress.comNing Chen (Sesameseedcat) is the creator of Uniman! & Sasheemee friends. Born out her love for food and odd-looking cartoon characters, Uniman is her alter ego - he is a little quirky, a little timid, very flab-ulous and overall happy-go-lucky. Ning currently heads the kitchen at Udders as an Executive Chef, putting her taste-buds to the test daily crafting ice cream. She enjoys collecting strange toys, kewpie mayo and cats. She graduated from NAFA in 2010 with a degree in Graphic Communications.www.iamuniman.wordpress.comWilliam Chan is the founder of TMRRW, a multidisciplinary creative studio based in Singapore and the co-founder of PHUNK, Asia’s leading Art & Design Collective.
