Mel Gouw is the young and creative designer of this podcast's artwork - she spent many hours dealing with my requests and going back and forth! Today, we hear a bit about her story, starting from her current life in Perth, Australia as a freelance graphic designer and then going back to her roots in Indonesia.
We talk about what it was like embarking on her freelance journey right when things were getting serious with COVID-19, her life in Indonesia, then moving to and growing up in New Zealand. We also reflect on some of the things our parents did for us, which we didn't understand at the time came out of love and their personal struggles in their new, foreign home.
