A girl who loves to draw creates a Singaporean brand MessyMsxi

I often hear people say: What many young people lack are opportunities, not talents. Let’s take a look at what young people of the same generation are doing in various East Asian countries?

Strictly speaking, Zi Xi Tan, a young Singaporean girl, majored in illustration at St. Martins College in London in 2006 and did not officially enter this field. On the contrary, it should be traced back to the influence of her father in her childhood. She likes the influence of seal cutting and does not like watching TV. She expresses her true thoughts to adults through drawing and graffiti. She describes herself as a girl who loves black humor and always loves to listen to strange topics and articles on TV or in the news. Or doing in-depth research on documentaries. Through the process of searching for materials, people around her said that it actually shaped her unique personal views.

The name of her personal website, MessyMsxi, was purely because foreigners could not pronounce her name correctly, and some rhyming names, in order to make it easy for everyone to remember and pronounce, later became the name of her personal brand. In addition, she continues to expand her personal definition of painting in a scientific way, and finally mixes in some twisting analysis of the concept of painting. She laughs that she always loves to overturn the original drafts and ideas on her own. "MessyMsxi" is Isn’t it suitable for her?

She has been recognized repeatedly. In 2010, she won the ‘New Talent of Year 2010′ in the London International Creative Competition, and in 2013In 2013, she was nominated as 'Women of Our Time 2013' by Singapores Womens Weekly Singapore, and won The Hedwig Anuar Childrens Book Award for her book 'Wheres Grandma?'. Now it has expanded to include fashion brands, various exhibitions, animations and books. release, and even the design of the new subway station that is about to be put into operation in Singapore, as well as the product design of my personal brand. After experiencing constant self-collision, I learned to accept changes, and even entered the new life of marriage. After this stage of life, the style of works may be somewhat different from the ones she submitted when she first entered the painting world, but what remains unchanged is the beginners spirit she insists on.

From her journey along the way, we can still conclude that time will never stop for you in vain, and efforts will eventually be rewarded. Perhaps all we can do is to wait patiently!
