Aldrich Q.

Hello and welcome to Aldrich Quai Hoi's ( Aldo for short ). A lttle bit about me ? Ok, I have been working in design and multimedia since the age of 20 or so, ( commercially ) my formal training at Melbourne School of art for two years and my natural abilities ensured that I had a great set of skills and got into the industry through sheer persistance, hard work and a very lucky break given to me by some very special people. Throughout the years I have earned my "professional qualifications" through experience in the field. I did this the old fashioned way as this was how it was taught to me by my many mentors, who themselves built their empires the old fashioned way on foundations of bricks and mortar by hand. I have now furthered my qualifications by attaining a masters degree in design communication which I completed in 2009. I really wanted to create a great body of work, where by I was granted or awarded an honorary degree, something along the lines of what Billy Connelly joked about - " they just gave me mine " , but things changed and I opted to " just do it ", so now I'm " qualified " to make statements and voice my opinion relating to media and communications and a lot of other things. This decision came about in a very transitional period and I am now very glad that I achieved this, regardless of the sacrifices I had to make in life. May be in a couple of years time, I'll go and do my PHD - if I really need it, then I'll be able to put " Dr " as my title, how cool would that be !
