High Achiever: Jervis Mun
Course: Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Product Design
This pretty much sums up Jervis Mun, graduate from the B.A (Hons) Product Design course at Raffles Design Institute in 2004. He is quite an entrepreneur too. Together with two graduates, they set up Acacia Design, a brand management consultancy firm where he currently resides as director.
He speaks with glowing pride of his latest win at the Larry Jewellery Design Competition. 'Pearl in the City', his winning entry, was inspired by the unique city planning of the streets of Paris. Reflecting organic forms, his work shows a mature and almost structured approach to design and creativity.
He muses about the future of design, and puts his money on wearable technology - a result of rapid globalisation. This sentiment is supported by Programme Director of 3D Design, Raffles Design Institute, Ms. Julie Ross, 'The boundaries of design are getting increasingly blurred, and what we will see is a wonderful hybrid of technology and design, whereby products are designed with functions infused with high technology in mind.'
In the meantime, talented designers such as Jervis Mun will pave the way for the future direction of design. We just can't wait.
