Hi, I'm Rose (Nang Lwin), a multidisciplinary designer based in London with a diverse educational background and work experiences. I actively seek opportunities that stretch beyond traditional design roles. I believe every opportunity offers growth and I bring an open-minded, and resilient approach to every project I take on.
Beyond my core design work, I am an entrepreneur in action. Currently, I am establishing a social venture dedicated to supporting and selling handicrafts sourced directly from artisan communities in my native Myanmar.
