Interview with TimeTec Computing Sdn Bhd
Design Legend Interview
26 April 2017
I love art since I was young. I’ve always been intrigued by art and it translates in the love of my job. Design and art are inseparable and to me, learning process has never stopped even long after I left my college. I earned my Diploma in Graphic and Computing from Center Academy of Art (CAA), Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. To learn something new these days, we don’t need to be formal about it because there is an abundance of information out there and I always upgrade myself by self-learning.
I’ve always have the passion in drawing and from there I knew that design is my world.
This is definitely my choosing and I never regret it a day in my life.
I do generally web designs and with the new techniques and technologies going at us at a rapid rate, I want to learn and to input more great effects in my work.
They should always have the passion in what they are doing. Without passion, there would be something missing, no matter how pretty the design is.
A good designer is someone who can design a nice artwork, but a great designer is a person who look at designs not only from its aesthetic value but also from its practical angle and how the design can influence the lifestyle and the way we contribute to the world.
To me when you are able to deliver a massage with minimal explanation and appealing to the eyes at the same time, then it is a good design.
Self-motivated and self-learning.
Again self-motivated and self-learning, a great planning and research before I start any of my project.
That never occurred to me because I believe this is what I meant to be.
Apart from providing audience with information, design evokes emotional response, giving you an idea and attachment about a product/service even before you even see/experience the product/service.
The CEO and COO of the company have always provided me with a lot idea and feedbacks during the process.
Design provides artistry and aesthetic values to the world. A great design concerns about all aspects of society and incorporate that to improve the quality of life. I give an example, a great architect must think about the convenience of all users of a building including the less able and the handicapped, they have to use sustainable building materials and provide great design to beautify a city. A clever design makes people stop, think and give back to the society.
I want designers to be better recognized and respected. Some people think design is easy without taking the mountainous effort to deliver a good design into consideration. It’s not only about marrying words and images together, we need to think above and beyond that to deliver information and convenience to our audience.

Self-learning is the key for me.

I love art since I was young. I’ve always been intrigued by art and it translates in the love of my job. Design and art are inseparable and to me, learning process has never stopped even long after I left my college. I earned my Diploma in Graphic and Computing from Center Academy of Art (CAA), Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, and I’ve always knew that design is my destiny.
My company manufactures and sells biometrics products for the global market since 2000 and recently we ventured into cloud computing solutions. The unique thing about my company is, we use a lot of design to conduct our business. We provide various websites (and I meant VARIOUS) for our clients and resellers to access to and gather information without them having to meet us to conduct business. Our design studio is all the time busy and running because the need to upkeep the information in our internet ecosystem is tremendous, but we love it.
Apart from providing audience with information, design evokes emotional response, giving you an idea and attachment about a product/service even before you even see/experience the product/service. That’s how Apple and Samsung create an uproar whenever a new iPhone is about to be introduced to the market. And that’s why a woman drooling over a Louis Vuitton handbag.
Website design, I enjoy experimenting on how a particular effect can be applied to the page to make it look more lively.
Revamp the official website of the company, a major task for me.
The message that the design carries.
Motivation.
Excitement and happiness.
To be able to carry the meaning without having any text explaining it.
Whether I’m able to understand what the design is trying to tell.
Design provides artistry and aesthetic values to the world. A great design concerns about all aspects of society and incorporate that to improve the quality of life. I give an example, a great architect must think about the convenience of all users of a building including the less able and the handicapped, they have to use sustainable building materials and provide great design to beautify a city. A clever design makes people stop, think and give back to the society.
I like to do research on the net, books, magazines or anything that can give me idea.
Simplicity and informative, I like to create something that looks clean.
I live in Malaysia and im proud of it because it is a multi-racial country, and it is rich in culture, rich in heritage and rich in its artistic values.
Content or relevant information will be provided to me and sometime discussion is needed to further understand a project. I will then conduct my research to deliver the best that I could provide and finally I will come out with a prototype to be approved before everything go live.
To have the passion in your work, this is the only way to get motivated at all times
Constant self-learning, something that you wont learn from any academy.
