In celebration of Singapore’s 60th year of independence (SG60), I collaborated with the local label Coldwear to create an exclusive textile artwork for a limited-edition collection. The design blends heritage influences with a contemporary twist, drawing inspiration from the iconic Peranakan shophouses along Joo Chiat. Through this artwork, I reinterpreted the intricate architectural details and vibrant character of these historic buildings into a modern textile format. The textile was used across a curated lineup (from kids’ fleece sets to adult jackets) forming a cohesive SG60 limited collection that celebrates both tradition and modern local culture. illustrator textile prints

I collaborated with Design Orchard and Pacific Licensing Studio to create a capsule collection inspired by Wicked. The collection was retailed at the Design Orchard store as part of an exclusive merchandise series. For this collaboration, I designed a range of wearable pieces including scarves, reversible jackets, and unisex T-shirts. The capsule collection reinterprets the themes and visual elements of Wicked through textile design, blending storytelling with contemporary fashion to create statement pieces that resonate with both theatre fans and everyday wearers.

I collaborated with Mocha Chai Laboratories to create an exclusive T-shirt and cap capsule collection for the launch of the film Wonderland. This collection transforms the film’s magical realism and emotional depth into wearable art and collectibles. Inspired by the story’s series of letters exchanged across time — spanning generations, oceans, and experiences of loss — the designs reflect love’s endurance and resilience. Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1980s Singapore and the bustling streets of New York, each piece interprets the film’s central themes of love, sacrifice, connection, and redemption, turning cinematic moments into tangible, wearable storytelling.
