Featured on the site are both a photograph of myself and an illustration masterfully crafted by SONIARTHK. Sonia, a talented and imaginative young artist, portrayed me in her unique style. Through her keen observations, she captured an essential facet of my personality. Despite navigating through intensely fast-paced work environments, I've managed to maintain an outwardly cheerful and graceful demeanor. This portrayal aligns with the image of a swan gliding elegantly atop water while, beneath the surface, its legs propel it forward with remarkable speed, akin to a motor.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Welcome to this site. It's my hope that the journey detailed within resonates with you.
​
Having the privilege of pursuing my passion and becoming involved in the performing arts at a tender age in my hometown, Hong Kong, was an actualization of a lifelong dream. Surrounded by diverse artists, I found myself immersed in an authentically creative milieu, an experience I cherished deeply. As life progressed, I recognized that intuition alone wasn't sufficient for real-world success.
In response to this gap in practical skills, I embarked on a journey to acquire knowledge in investment, management, and technology. This strategic move aimed to ensure my resilience in any industry and across countries, a departure from my initial artistic passion. Recent years, however, have unveiled the surprising truth that this path I've treaded aligns with the concept of slow multitasking, nurturing creativity in a profound manner.
Echoing Steve Jobs, we can solely decipher the connected dots when looking back(Jobs, 2017). Yet, the past remains just that—the past. Trusting your intuition, and embracing every forthcoming opportunity, ultimately paves the way to achieving greatness in your unique manner.

About this Our Site
This website has been crafted as part of the ENT60009-OPPORTUNITY DISCOVERY, CREATIVITY AND DESIGN assignment, authored by Ting CHEUNG (student number: 103801808), centered around the theme "creativity and me." This undertaking encompasses self-assessment, personal reflection, and an action plan. ​ Reflecting on the format and the site's creation process, three key aspects emerge: 1. The choice of a website as the presentation medium stems from the assignment's structure comprising 10 mini tasks, each involving reflective pieces best suited for a blog-style format. 2. Among the tasks, the 3 short tests exploring my creativity type proved most captivating. As a result, I integrated them into the site, offering an interactive facet from the user's perspective. 3. Intriguingly, this marks the second iteration of the site. Initially, I embarked on creating it using Adobe Spark, yet I found the platform's templates uninspiring and its flexibility limited. ​ In conclusion, I trust you'll enjoy delving into the content and accompanying me on this journey of creativity. Your presence is a valuable witness to the evolution of my creative exploration.
