🌱 What if a city’s true purpose was not only to house us, but to teach us?

When we hear “education,” we often think about degrees — bachelor, master, PhD.
But education is much more than that.

✨ Learning how to plant a tree is education.
✨ Learning how to post online is education.
✨ Even learning how to unlearn old habits — that too is education.

As adults, we are not finished products. We still need to learn, unlearn, and relearn.
The challenge is: Where do we get access to it?

Now imagine a city designed as a learning ecosystem.
Instead of learning being locked in classrooms, every corner of the city becomes a place of growth — supported by technology, design, and community.

This is why I focus on andragogy and EdTech:
Because education shouldn’t stop when we graduate.
It should be everywhere, accessible to everyone, at every stage of life.

💬 What skills do you think adults most need to relearn in our cities today?

Our first ever BTS x DELO VA Agencies collaboration meeting 💻🤝

From , Onsoi Agritech, Agri-Tourism and now — VA Agencies. I’m so grateful to walk this journey with my brilliant partner, Ts. Dr. Syafika. Together, we don’t just connect people to jobs — we design meaningful ecosystems grounded in impact.

This isn’t just about business.
It’s about uplifting the community 💛

We curate every initiative with intention — aligned to SDGs, with real purpose and real people in mind.

So why am I doing all this?

Because I LOVE Sabah.
But let’s be real — the salary structure here? It doesn’t reflect our worth.
That’s why I built Deco Hartanah, Bau.Kita & Ruang Delo under my company, Delo Kreatif.

As I transition into my Master’s & later my PhD journey, I knew I had to hand over admin responsibilities. So I casually posted on Threads — and BOOM!
Over 200 applications in less than 24 hours.

🤯 “What is happening?”
🤔 Is it that hard to find a job?
💔 Is it the resume? The skills? The confidence?

I realized — many people are like me.
They crave freedom, balance, and a career that fits their life, not the other way around.

So here we are, building a VA platform that’s not only about hiring — but training, upskilling, and reclaiming dignity in work.

We’re building a community.
You don’t have the skills? We train you.
No idea how to start? We mentor you.

Dr. Syafika brings her business consultancy expertise.
I bring my architecture & design lens.
But most of all — we both bring our heart.

Because I love buildings — but I love people more.
Let’s build this together.
Let’s uplift Sabah — the real way.

IT’S A WRAP! 🎉 ID DESIGN WEEK

Huge thanks to , , & to make sure this happen! and ofcourse to & our Interior Design Department 💛 .interiordesign

I’m forever grateful for the opportunity to initiate, approach, and execute this — because I truly believe Sabahan students deserve better.
These kids deserve the kind of exposure I once received — and more.

I may never be a superhero to “save” Sabah — but maybe, these kids will be.

As this may be my final event as Head of Interior Design Department, i just want to say:

THANK YOU FOR THE SPACE TO DREAM

Thriving design education in East Malaysia has always been my mission.

Special thanks to & for believing in us and supporting SIA’s journey.

Let’s continue to invest in the next generation.
Because I believe in Sabah. Always. 💛✨

😭😭😭 I STILL CANNOT DIGEST THIS!

My advocacy to uplift Sabah and design education in East Malaysia is… HAPPENING!!!
Guys. We made it.

From “I need admin help” to launching a platform — in less than 24 hours.

I’m still stunned.

Yesterday, I casually posted on Threads, saying I’m looking for a part-time admin to support me while I pursue my Master’s soon.

Not even 12 hours later — my Gmail got flooded with applications.
At first, we genuinely thought we got hacked 🤯
But nope — people were really applying.

And not just from Sabah.
From Kedah, KL, Seremban, Sandakan — people I’ve never met, all with the same hope:
A chance.

So I called my partner, Dr. Syafika.
And she said,
“Babe, kalau dah ada demand, jom buat.”

Literally this morning we discussed.
And by tonight — we launched a platform.

Because when passion meets purpose,
You don’t wait. You build.

So here it is:
💻 https://btsdkvaagencies.my.canva.site/virtual-assistant
📩 VA registration is now open. Companies looking for support? We’re ready.

We’re not here to be fancy.
We’re here to create real opportunities.
To connect untapped talents with the people who actually need them.

This started as something small.
But deep down, I believe it’s going to be so much bigger than we imagined.

Let’s go.

Hello brands!

First of all, thank you so much for reaching out. I truly appreciate the interest and support 🫶

However, I’d like to clarify that I don’t do paid reviews.
I’m more than happy to support Sabahan brands — especially those aligned with my mission — but not on a monetary-based review structure.

As a Design Strategist and Educator, my advocacy is to uplift local Sabahan products and strengthen design education in East Malaysia.
I want more people in Semenanjung — and across Malaysia — to finally recognise the hidden gems we have here in Sabah — from culture, nature to the people behind it all.

If your brand shares that same spirit — and there’s a win-win collaboration that benefits my students or contributes to community impact — I’d love to try, explore, and feature your products, spaces, or stories.

Let’s build something meaningful together.
📩 For collaborations: [email protected]

Btw… don’t come to Lokal Cafe Aeropod yet please.
I nak try tiramisu dia yang viral tu tapi sampai sekarang still out of stock 😭 Kasi chance dulu okay hahaha.

With love & purpose,

I didn’t choose to elevate Sabah’s design education because I had nothing else to do.
I chose this — because I care. Deeply.

For me, Sabahan students deserve better.
They deserve the same exposure I got when I studied — the same confidence, the same doors opened.

I graduated with First Class Honours.
Received the PAM Award in 2018.
Won the YSEALI Sabah Bootcamp in 2024.
I’ve championed every step I took —
Now, I want my students to be champions too.

I’m not here for applause.
I never needed anyone’s approval — I approve myself.

I do this because I have heart.
And I’ll keep doing it — until my path shifts into something new.

Until then, I hope more of us choose to care.
Let’s build this together. Not for fame. Not for likes.
But because these kids… they deserve it.

✨ Delo Kreatif isn’t just a brand — it’s a movement.

I’m building a world where design is accessible, empowering, and rooted in purpose.
Let’s design a better future, together.
