Although I’m assuming you’ve read my about page, I still feel like I should be introducing myself, so hello! I’m Lysandra, a fashion marketing student from but not limited to Malaysia. Generally, I’m a person that enjoys being creative in any form. In a traditional sense, I enjoy graphic design and I often flit from one artistic hobby to another. I also like expressing this inventiveness in coming up with unique solutions and adapting to situations.

​

Aside from seeking creative fulfillment, I am also intellectually driven. New information from a plethora of topics, usually of a social variety, is very fascinating to me. I’m fond of accumulating knowledge, so one of my biggest strengths is my keenness to learn.

 

Personally, I think that it’s more important to be willing to learn something than it is to already know how to do it. There’s a limit to how much people can learn by themselves and being receptive to help and critique is a trait I will always be working on.

​

I have a deep appreciation for and intrigue of pop-culture, which is why working with social media is so attractive to me. Being able to understand references and Internet humor is not a particularly uncommon feat as a Gen Z baby, but being able to analyze the wider implication of why behind the what* on the Internet is a very handy skill to have. This is where my amalgamation of knowledge comes in handy, along with some semblance of sociological comprehension. All this gives me a basis to understand some wider societal issues and how to respectfully approach them.

​

*For example, the term “girlboss” was used before to describe an empowering woman. Now, the term has taken on a negative connotation, more representative commodified feminism whereby it has been used more as a tool for profit. By current definition, a girlboss is someone who adopts popular feminist rhetoric for personal gain and is likely apathetic towards or actively perpetuating feminist and/or other issues. It’s meaning changed with the increased awareness of profit-driven performative activism.
