David enjoys incorporating different disciplines into his work. His passion for art and design runs deeply, and is ingrained, in his blood.
Those childhood memories have become his source of inspiration. People who know David would know that he loves art and design in different forms ranging from graphic design, fashion design, interior design to even tattoos. David enjoys incorporating different disciplines into his work. His passion for art and design runs deeply, and is ingrained, in his blood.
David has 25 years of experience in interior design under his belt. He has worked as designer for architects, developers and designer firms. His designs have strong concepts with very detailed approach. He has deep understanding of the intricate relationship between colours, textures and materials. He believes that the key to a successful interior design is to create a timeless space instead of chasing a design trend. Ultimately, functionality and durability are just as important as how a design looks.
David expresses his creativity through his love for drawing. It is a pure joy for him to see his design becomes reality first through his visual, then his drawing and finally the actual production. He pays great attention to every single detail in the whole process of selecting lightings, fixtures, furniture, windows dressing etc in collaboration with his clients.
David derives a great sense of satisfaction and achievement when his clients have shown tremendous trust in his designs and after the completion of the projects, have complimented David for creating homes beyond their expectations and made them proud owners of their homes. All the clients' trusts and compliments motivate and encourage David to keep on designing and producing great works.
While most of us outgrew our cardboard box forts and Lego bricks, Iris never left that part of her childhood "boxed" away. Her first gig as a budding interior designer began with discarded brown cardboard boxes which she turned into playhouses for her and her siblings.
With her love for the visual arts - the work she does is in interior design is more like a continuous passion project to her than anything else. She spent a lot of her formative years practising with paints or drawing. An interest she still pursues till this very day.
Yee San discovered her love for interior design during her childhood. From that love, it became a passion that inspired her to study interior design and sites training.
For more than two decades, the Operations Director has made her mark in the industry by working with various companies and learning from each of them. Her portfolio details her various projects from honeymoon homes of newlyweds to exhibitions for global executives.
Yee San's love for interior design was not borne out of thin air but honed by her father and her experiences growing up in a one-room Chai Chee flat.
San's father was a self-taught handyman with a gift for imagination. By utilising a bit of elbow grease and even more thinking out of the (shoebox) flat, Yee San's father turned a single room into a home for a family of five - including a study corner for her and her siblings!
This is just one instance of San's father's creativity that sparked her love for interior design and its magical ability to change how we see our homes and live in them. With those fond childhood memories and a natural talent for creativity inherited from her father, San naturally gravitated into a career in the interior design industry, particularly focusing on residential projects.
The glamour of large-scale corporate events could not sway San away from her roots and she finds herself choosing to dedicate her expertise in residential projects.
San considers these residential projects as more than just homes, but as extensions of the families who live in it. It is a place that not just exists, but one which represents each clients' characters.
Nothing brings San greater satisfaction than recreating that same joy she felt watching her father work his "handyman magic" on her clients when she unveils their forever homes. By combining her talent in operation management and a genuine passion interior design - San has made more friends in her years in the business than she could ever fit into a room
