MANNUELA HOPE KOH
ABOUT ME
A passionate writer who specialises in comedy. (because she thinks she's somewhat funny & it's the only thing she's got going for her).
Ok kidding. Real introduction now.
Hi! I'm Mannuela, a 23 year old student pursuing a degree in Screenwriting at the University of Melbourne. Prior to my degree, I obtained a Diploma in Film and Television in Ngee Ann Polytechnic in Singapore, where I was exposed to every aspect of film. That led me to the decision of narrowing in on the creative writing side of filmmaking when I attempted a feature length script for my Diploma capstone. I do carry knowledge of other aspects of filmmaking, of course, and would love to be able to hop on any projects that can broaden my experience and hone my skills while I'm still starting out! Please feel free to scroll through works I've done and be in contact if there's chances for any possible collaborations! :>
WRITING
Writing has always been my favourite part of the filmmaking industry, and I've decided to focus on it as a career path.

I worked for Knockhouse cafe and revamped their logo, including their new menu. Carefully curating the images, fonts and colours used to fit a certain theme and vibe, this is the final product! (click on the image to view)
