My design on display during the Uniqlo UTGP 2017 campaign—grateful to be part of the Top 20.

Back in 2017, I submitted a Nintendo T-shirt design for the Uniqlo UT Grand Prix. It became one of the 20 designs selected and was produced and sold globally.

“Top 20 Finalist – Uniqlo UT Grand Prix 2017 × Nintendo
(Selected from over 16,000 entries worldwide — I was the only designer from Singapore.)”
— From Uniqlo’s UTGP 2017 results.

Being selected by Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto in the Uniqlo × Nintendo international T-shirt design competition was a great honor for me.

Out of 16,000 global entries, only 25 designs were chosen—and I’m incredibly grateful that my entry from Singaporewas one of them.

I feel thankful for the chance to represent my country through this design, but the most meaningful part has been simply seeing people wear it.

Scroll down to see where the shirt ended up—online, in-store, and in real life.
