The version of me that doesn't fit on a résumé
Singapore-based. I sell ideas for a living and build things for fun, and I've mostly stopped apologising for liking both.
I've always collected things: ideas, pretty details, half-finished projects
I started out in business development because I liked the part where you convince a room of sceptical people that an idea is worth their time and budget, and I turned out to be good at it, particularly around leadership, education and developmental programmes. Somewhere along the way, I never stopped being the person who also cared about the exact shade of a blush, or how a spreadsheet could quietly run someone's life if you built it right.
For a long time those felt like two different people who happened to share a body. This site is me finally admitting they're the same person, and giving her one home instead of six disconnected profiles.
Two jobs, technically. One person, actually
Business development & programmes
I pitch, design and run leadership, education and youth-development programmes. The client-relationship, facilitation and "get this funded" side of the work. Full picture on the Work page.
AI, apps & content
FRIDAY, my AI assistant, is live. Life Island, my life as a small JRPG town, is what I'm building now. All documented, warts and all, in the Lab.
The list that doesn't sit still
Not a personality quiz result. Just what's been holding my attention.
- Turning "just me" into a brand
- Blush as a personality trait
- Wellness, minus the green juice clichés
- Teaching a robot to run my life
- Turning ideas into things people pay for
- Self-improvement that doesn't burn out by February
- Helping other people find their strengths
- CliftonStrengths
- How to charm a room
A working list, not a manifesto
- Good taste is a competitive advantage, not a luxury.
- You can be ambitious and soft at the same time. They're not opposites.
- Most things are learnable, including the ones you've quietly decided you're "not that kind of person" for.
- Publishing something imperfect beats polishing something no one sees.
Building more than I'm resting, saying yes to fewer things so I can say a full yes to the right ones, and slowly turning "someday" projects into things with actual version numbers. This section will keep changing. That's the point.
