Introducing Grace Teoh!

In 2009, young designer Grace Teoh from New South Wales submitted an entry for the DesignIT competition. Who would have thought that two years later it would be voted by the National Planning Group as the official ‘look and feel’ for National Youth Week 2012! This means that Grace’s design has been used to shape the national branding for NYW 2012 starting with this website. We asked Grace about how she got into design, what inspires her and how she feels about having her design promoted across Australia. Check out the interview.
