Urban Research Lab Pte Ltd., Singapore, SG, Lead Interior Designer

In Urban Research Lab, I handled all the Interior Design projects. I worked closely with the director of the company and was trained to do all our client presentations whether it was an Architectural or Interior design project. I also traveled extensively during my stay in URL because most of the projects I handled were based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Hanoi, Vietnam. For these projects, I would coordinate with their local project manager and fly there every 2 weeks to go on site visits and meetings with the clients. It was in this company that I also learned how to handle projects independently. I was also trained how to do renderings which I ended up enjoying.

HC Design Pte Ltd., Singapore, SG, Junior Interior Designer & Project Coordinator

I was the project coordinator of this company's new headquarters building in Singapore. I worked on the client's side so I had to coordinate with the Architect and Contractor in order to get the project rolling and completed. Because this company was also involved in the furniture business, I was made to travel in many places across Europe, Asia and the US in order to source emerging furniture brands into the Singapore Market. Other than this, I was also the Interior Designer for one of the children's furniture stores that they opened in 2012.
