Hi, I'm Grace.I draw things and make them real with motion & interactivity.Previously, I wrote for animation & interactive at CraveFX.
Over the past decade, my interests in art and tech have gotten me involved in diverse roles as an animation producer, creative technologist, and writer - roles that were all fuelled by the fierce desire to craft experiences that spoke to people.I remain in love with visual storytelling, human-computer interaction, and learning itself - and one day, I'll find a way to marry all of them in a glorious union.Most recently, I worked as a writer for Singapore-based animation studio, CraveFX. On the side, I fiddle with freelance AR and animation projects, and study UX.Reach me at hwt.grace@gmail.com.

tech & interactives
Big fan of the low-code no-code movement as an enabler - here's what I've made with various SaaS tools and apps.
interactive content directories
Birdma: A mobile-based webapp that collates various information sources about local SG birdlife into one handy directory. Created with Glide.
Annual Report Directory: Web-based clickable prototype that allows the user to navigate categorised information through an interactive interface. Works on web browsers and touchscreens. *Assets not by me.
Download directories: Designed, created & rapidly deployed responsive Webflow microsites. They organised & contextualised large amounts of info within interactive interfaces, and were visually coherent with the main event site as well. The SG FinTech Fest site garnered over 11.8k pageviews.Experience it: BOMA Scroller & SG FinTech Fest
