The Island Within

Category
Design for Good


In Singapore, 17,000 youths are NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training), often misunderstood as unmotivated when, in reality, systemic barriers hold them back. Traditional support systems are inaccessible, and rigid success definitions leave them feeling lost.

"The Island Within" is an interactive campaign designed to redefine success and empower NEET youth through self-discovery and real-world support. At its core, it is a game that helps players uncover their strengths, supported by mentorship opportunities that connect them with former NEETs and industry professionals. The campaign helps these youths unlock their potential and carve their future by shifting perceptions and providing tangible pathways.

"Design is for people, not for designers."

My name's Gayathri and that's my motto when it comes to design. Design is a tool to communicate and solve real-world problems, not just to make things look pretty. I love getting involved in the design process and getting my hands dirty along the way. I believe that design is for everyone and that good design can inspire and make a lasting impact.
