SP Media, Arts & Design School

From SP MAD to the world. 🌏✨

Big congratulations to XPD alumnus Givson Ong, recipient of the prestigious DesignSingapore Scholarship 2026!

His journey began at SP Media, Arts & Design, where he learnt to turn human insights into meaningful physical and digital experiences. That foundation carried him through Industrial Design at NUS—and now towards Innovation Design Engineering at the Royal College of Art and Imperial College London.

At SP MAD, you can dream big like Givson, design boldly and see where we can take you. 🚀

From writer to video producer and now Social Media Lead, SP MAD alumna Ms Syahindah Ishak has built a career around shaping stories that inform, engage and connect with audiences. Today, she leads a team at Mothership , curating content across social media platforms and covering everything from current affairs and entertainment to environmental issues and beyond.

Syahindah graduated from the Diploma in Creative Writing for Television and New Media (DTVM), now the Story & Content Creation (SCC) specialisation under the Diploma in Media, Arts & Design (DMAD).
