Communication alumna Celesty Lee wins Hong Kong Young Design Talent Award

Miss Celesty Lee Ming-yin, 2013 Digital Graphic Communication graduate of the School of Communication, won the CreateSmart Young Design Talent Special Award in the Hong Kong Young Design Talent Award 2013 competition organised by the Hong Kong Design Centre. She was awarded a grant of HK$250,000 to undertake an overseas work attachment at a renowned design company for six months to one year. 

Celesty was nominated by her Honours Project advisor, Mr. Wade Chan, Lecturer of the Department of Communication Studies, for the Award. Candidates were assessed by a panel of expert judges based on several criteria, including their possible future contributions to the development of design and innovation in Hong Kong and the quality of their portfolios. Among the works that Celesty presented for assessment was her Honours Project “Ciao Vela”, a mobile application which serves as an instant communication platform for travellers. The project won her a bronze award in the Creative Audio-visual Production category at the 4th Chang Kuo-sin Award for Aspiring Young Communicators.

Celesty was happy to win the award. She said: “I realised that it is important to grasp and cherish every single opportunity. Thank you to my friends who helped me to complete ‘Ciao Vela’. I plan to commence my overseas work attachment in mid-2014 and am searching for a good design company.”
