Hello. I am Phyllis.
I’m a graphic designer and the director of Squiggle Studio. I began Squiggle Studio as a place where kids are encouraged to explore their creativity and to nurture their artistic talents. Kids engage and can better conceptualise their imaginative aptitudes through learning art and design skills at an early age. My mother got me started in drawing when I was a young child by enrolling me in a drawing school holiday program. This was the beginning of my creative journey. As I was growing up, my passion for art and drawing grew stronger and stronger.

I enjoy working with children. There is much joy in seeing them experimenting with art techniques, nurturing their conceptual thinking, opening their young minds to inspirational art and design, and building their self-confidence and creative excellence.

Squiggle Studio is my way of sharing my love and knowledge of art and design in ways that develop our young people.
