Independent making and smaller studies

CLOVE

During my internship with Monolythiq, I designed and produced a personal architectural model inspired by Joo Chiat breeze blocks and an inviting outdoor seating space.

TheConiferCone

I founded TheConiferCone in 2022 as a small local business producing handcrafted clay jewellery and accessories shaped by everyday life and Singapore's maker scene.

About

Drawing-led work across landscape and making

My work moves between academic landscape speculation, public space storytelling, and small-scale material practice. Across these projects, I am interested in how landscapes can carry memory, invite participation, and hold layered forms of life.

This website sits alongside my portfolio PDF as a quieter way to browse the work, keeping the pacing of the original document while opening up more space for each sequence.
