Creative Capital: The 29-year-old multi-hyphenate who is a designer, entrepreneur and teacher

There are two 3 เกม Bingo Slotxo สุดมันส์ สนั่นจอ kinds of Millennials. One archetype is the successful multi-hyphenate, able to juggle multiple activities and responsibilities while also staying true to his or herself and his or her passions. Celine Ng, founder of the Fraction Design Studio, definitely falls into this camp.

In addition to running her own fledgling yet successful practice, she finds the time to teach at both the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and Ngee Ann Polytechnic; works as the founding designer for Starchie, a local furniture and accessories brand; and is a partner in a small social enterprise focused on sustainable leather projects.

Smart, sensible, passionate, and clearly talented, Celine is definitely poised to become a leader in our local design sector, both professionally and personally.

WERE YOU ALWAYS DRAWN TO DESIGN?
I believe that no creature on earth has a greater capacity to create than the human being. Design to me is simply an extension of our natural drive to create and invent. The world we live in right now is proof of our inner desire to keep innovating.

WAS THERE A MOMENT IN WHICH YOU KNEW THAT YOU WANTED TO DEVOTE YOUR CAREER TO DESIGN?
I was a typical Singaporean girl that studied hard to do well in my exams. Before I knew what was going on, I found myself as a second-year science stream student at Hwa Chong Junior College. I neither liked nor disliked what I was doing, I was simply doing what I thought was expected of me at the time. I was living my life three months at a time, from tests to exams, from exams to school camps.
