MISS SITI SARAH SALIM, 22
Part-time graphic designer

My most indelible memory of void decks: It was when I was in primary school. There was an event held by the residents' committee in the void deck. I went downstairs with my siblings to watch a magic show and I somehow enrolled myself in a drawing contest! I had a great time with my siblings. I won the drawing contest and got a nice trophy. It was something I was really proud of - my first random contest and my first trophy.

What I think is the best feature of void decks: Each void deck looks really unique.

What I think is most missing from void decks now: There are not that many events going on in void decks any more. It is really quiet. People just walk in and out of them.

All four designers will be showcasing their portfolios as part of the Singapore Design Festival's Portfolio Show for Young Designers at Suntec City Halls 402 and 403 from Nov 24 to 27. Curated by the DesignSingapore Council, the exhibition features the best work from the graduating Class of 2009.
