Arts & Decor

One of my aspirations is to be a baker and run my own café—a space where I can organize and manage workshops and events entirely on my own. I take great pleasure in the process, paying close attention to every detail to ensure that the guests have the best possible experience. Here are some of my favorite projects, both personal and commissioned, all of which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I have completed various projects with Ngoc Suong Catering & Events, and the most rewarding aspect is being able to develop the party ideas and concepts in alignment with the clients' visions. This includes creating concept boards, preparing proposals filled with vibrant inspirations, and selecting every detail from cutlery and flower arrangements to themes, color palettes, menu choices, and cake designs. I focus on crafting an exceptional experience for the guests and manage coordination with suppliers and third parties. If required, I handle the decoration myself, ensuring a fully hands-on approach on the event date. It has been an incredibly enjoyable experience.

With a passion for typography, hand lettering, and large mural wall painting, I dedicated considerable time to honing the skills during my school years and working on various projects. I believe typography plays a significant role in our lives; it’s present in newspapers, signage, and packaging, often without us even noticing. Practicing typography has sharpened my attention to detail, understanding of proportions, and much more.

The first cake I ever baked was in 2018 when I bought an oven for just 50 SGD. With limited knowledge and a few YouTube videos, I managed to whip up my very first batch of cupcakes. As the saying goes, ‘practice makes perfect.’ In just four months of self-study, I created a fully decorated two-tier cake. I see baking as a unique form of creativity where I can apply my design thinking skills and imaginative flair. I enjoy experimenting with shapes and colors, planning the layout of the cake, and considering what ingredients to include to surprise guests with every bite. After all, isn’t it an art of the customer journey?
