A Twist in my story
Kelly Geraldine Gunawan . GRAPHIC DESIGNER
I am just an ordinary girl born in Surabaya, Indonesia. I moved to Penang, Malaysia when i was in primary school and accomplished all my studies there. I graduated from Double Diploma of Graphic and multimedia Design as well as Mass Communication. Art became my passion and inspired by many other things around me. From my muse, i construct them into drawings and illustrations. I chose to pursue my second Diploma in Mass Communication because i would like to learn how to communicate with people and to be able to do writeups even better. I like to create new design from hand drawn drawings using pen and ink as the media. My style of art can be considered as spontaneous, free and expressive. Some of them are inspired from my own personal experiences, feelings and expressions. I always believe that there are no boundaries in art. Just let yourself submerge in it, imagine and express how you feel about it.
It was a challenge for me to join mass communication at first as i am not a loud person. But as time goes by, i've learnt a lot from everyone. I want to be versatile not only in design but communication. Therefore, I believe that Mass Communication managed to step myself up to another level which will help me in the future. I love photography and i believe that moments need to be kept in photographs.
I was brought up in Penang, and i can speak their local dialects fluently. My daily use languages are Hokkien, Mandarin, English and Bahasa Melayu. I am able to speak a little bit of Cantonese as well. I started to learn Bahasa Indonesia when i came back to Surabaya.
Currently i am working at Pakuwon Mall Surabaya and Food Junction as a Graphic Designer. I am also incharge in Media Promotion for Pakuwon Mall.
I learned a lot from here and manage to do things that i love and passionate about. From decorations to poster designs, social media greetings, Privilege card programs, mall hoarding designs, and many other promotional items.
