" Bearing a samurai topknot, dirty sports day t-shirts from tens years back, and pajamas bottoms, she roamed the vast wasteland which is her home. With a special talent given to her by gods, shu is able to communicate with felines…
Living by morals, protecting the weak, she really does hate it when people think peas belong to spring rolls and sweet corn soup. If you are ever lucky enough to see her feet, you will notice that they are unusually dark, that is because she sleeps “until the sun reaches her feet”. This is possibly to suit her life as an apprentice ninja…
Probably.
Her Grandma was also the first person to find Australia, not James Cook unlike most people think."STMChoi 2008

About us: 
OMAiidesign is an online portfolio created by two students who study under the University of Arts, London. This website was fabricated for students and aspiring professionals from anywhere to showcase their work for Online Public viewing plus allowing anyone to purchase items and ideas made by the designers.
Currently there are four confirmed designers at OMAii exhibiting their work and there are more to joining in the near future as we recruit more talent, allowing OMAiidesign to expand to reach more people.
OMAiidesign.co.uk is our place to say this is what I am; this is what I do.
Let us take this opportunity to thank the ones who allowed this website to become reality. Thank you Pea and Chris for your constructive feedback and great ideas. Also, we would like to thank Jon and Bob. Without their immense continual aid, this website would have never gotten past mark 1. How are we ever going to express our gratitude with my poor vocabulary? We'll draw you both a picture.
Thank you :D and certainly, we, ourselves deserve a pat on the back.
