Yap Zi Wei
Zi Wei is a philosophy graduate and a public servant in the social service sector. Prior to her training in art therapy, Zi Wei has worked for a decade in public service across social policy and programmes, arts and cultural management, and infrastructure planning. She is a recipient of the LASALLE Scholarship for the MA Art Therapy programme, and has served as a student representative for the MA Art Therapy 2022 cohort.
As an art therapist, Zi Wei finds fulfilment in working with people from all walks of life. She sees patterns in many things, magic in the commonplace, and the humanity of every person. Through whimsical re-imaginings of what life offers up, Zi Wei hopes to help others find comfort in difficult moments, and wonder in the everyday.
