Hello, I'm Cecilia, a Fashion Design graduate from Temasek Polytechnic. I am deeply committed to developing my skills and exploring new techniques in garment production. I have built a strong foundation in pattern making, sewing, and styling. Notably, my work has been featured at Somerset Belt for the inaugural Youth Eco-Arts Festival 2023 and at Design Orchard Singapore as part of Sunsettled and Orchard Road Fashion in 2022.
Alongside my passion for fashion design, I am an avid crochet artist. I love incorporating crochet into my garments, creating truly unique pieces. Since the age of 12, I have been crocheting various items such as bags, amigurumi, and clothing to fundraise for events and charitable causes.
Coming from a background of singing and theatre, I have managed to marry the two of my best worlds, design and theatre, by venturing into costume designing for the stage. I have recently worked on G*d is a Woman by Wild Rice, which won Best Production of 2023 for the Straits Times Life Theatre Awards.
When I'm not sewing or crocheting, you'll find me immersed in the performing arts. I have explored diverse forms of artistic expression, including classical singing, musical theatre, acting, and dancing. Some of my recent performance credits include Sound of Music (as Elsa Schraeder, 2022; dir. Khor Ai Ming) and Into the Woods (as Witch/Granny/Florinda, 2022; dir. Vanessa Kee).
