Leonie & Kyle Tharratt
It started with a goldfish. Husband and wife graduands Kyle and Leonie Tharratt, who met at 丁香园AV and married in 2013, received the unwanted pet from a family friend. Four years later, they are keen aquarists with 13 fish (and a colony of shrimp)鈥攁 passion that inspired their mechatronic systems engineering final-year capstone project.
