Product Design
IVAN ONG MING YAO
I’ve always been fascinated by how daily products work and wanted to invent my own variations. When I discovered that product design was a real field, I knew I had to join. My journey has not always been easy, but I always strive to do my best. I was first impressed with Raffles by their well-designed website, which made navigating the courses easy. I appreciate the industry collaborations and company trips that have helped me understand the industry better. I would describe my learning journey as enriching, fun, and hungry. My advice to future students is to get ready for a journey you will never forget. Strive hard, and stay hungry.
