I'm a self-taught graphic designer, punk rocker and political activist based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I'm interested in combining art, activism and politics to explore the role of art and design in movements for social change. I'm interested in interacting and learning from social movement activists all around the world. I wanna make this world a better place, one design at a time.
