I am a creative practitioner with 9 years of experience in the fashion industry. I am interested in both the materiality of fashion and production methods, as well as the social aspect of fashion--semiology, political, sentimental and contextual. My research finds its way into fashion collections, textile work, exhibitions, workshops and written research.

Materials & Construction

Trained as a fashion and textile designer, I am interested in the materiality of objects and construction techniques. This aspect underlines my theoretical and historical research as well as my personal experimentation on textiles.

Fashion History

​I am interested in material culture studies and my MA thesis focused on practices of wear that until recently, have been ignored in fashion history writing. (In)Visible Mending proposed an examination of mending's position in social history and as an aesthetic consideration that influenced experimental fashion from the 1980s. 

Fashion & Culture

​Mash-Up is a fashion design collective that I co-founded with Nat Ng and Shaf Amis'aabudin in Singapore in 2012. The collective created fashion collections that engaged with sub-cultural and ethnic semiology and techniques, creating commercially viable items that were incorporated into the youth culture in Singapore. Fun, tongue-in-cheek and wearable, Mash-Up also created workshops and events that engaged and added to Singapore's cultural landscape.
