Singapore.

What are other experiences that have led you to your current work?

Back when I did not know any photographers, I used photography as a medium to capture the essence of fashion styling.

How would you describe your practice?

As a fashion stylist, my main intention is always to tell a story by utilising clothes as a narrative element. I want to tell stories that have significant meanings to me as a person, my upbringing, or generally subjects that I like to explore. My goal as a stylist is to create works that are meaningful to me. As for work with clients, my job is to amplify and communicate the client's branding, while still being congruent with the concept.

What are the highlight projects in your career so far?

I recently styled for the Bali-based brand Your Future Loundry's debut show at JF3 Fashion Festival 2024 in Jakarta.

What are you currently working on?

Along with photographer Joseph Koh, I am working on directing a runway that is a part of Singapore Art Week 2025. This event's goal is to spotlight designers and creatives not only in Singapore, but encompassing Southeast Asia. Additionally, I will also be doing the campaign styling for one of my favourite Korean brands, Aesynctx.
