Cassey Gan

What do you work as?
I am a fashion designer and I have just started my own label at the start of 2013. My label is ‘Cassey Gan’.

What are some of the best parts of your work that you look forward to?
I look forward to bringing inspirations to life! I enjoy researching and designing from research materials. I love sourcing for fabric and using them to create samples. The experimentation process is exciting because through trial and error, my work improves.

What are some interests you have outside of work?
I enjoy travelling and I love going to cafes.

What makes you excited about these interests?
I enjoy travelling because I’m always excited to experience different cultures. I’m excited about exploring a new place and trying out their local food and drinks. Travelling is also a form of research for me and the more I see, the more open minded I become and that always has a positive effect on the way I design. I love going to cafes simply because I love coffee!

You’d most likely be found getting a blowout at PREP when you need to PREP for…
Initially, I thought PREP would be a place for special occasions. However, after having been to PREP quite a few times now, I would love for it to be a daily activity because I simply enjoy having good hair everyday

Ruoxi Tham

What do you work as?
I work as a do-whatever-needs-to-be-done in a start up that encourages energy efficiency.

What are some of the best parts of your work that you look forward to?
Some of the best parts of my work… are my colleagues (cliche but so true!) and ironically, learning to deal with problems I never thought I’d be faced with!!!

What are some interests you have outside of work?
I like crafting! And testing out all these DIY projects I see so much of when I’m on the internet.

What makes you excited about these interests?
I’ve always like the idea of being able to make things that I like, and most of all I really enjoy the process and product (even if most of the time it needs more practice). For example, I spent a weekend with 2 friends making little pins and tokens for another friend’s hen party. It was time consuming but very fun to see the fruits of our labor, and felt great that all our friends appreciated our time and effort.

You’d most likely be found getting a blowout at PREP when you need to PREP for…
Dinners, dates, parties, the list goes on..!!! PREP always makes me feel glamorous and pampered.

What do you work as?
Full time “Facebook and Instagram surfer” as a digital marketing manager, part time running my little hobby called perkbykate!

What are some of the best parts of your work that you look forward to?
There is so much creativity within everyone and it makes me happy when I see everyone working together and throwing in their own ideas to create works of art that would otherwise not be possible. (Seeing normal black hair transformed into something you can call a “statement hairstyle” is so exciting too!) Also, the fact that my work is largely based on ever-changing digital trends keeps me on my toes, and that is challenging yet stimulating at the same time.

What are some interests you have outside of work?
I love travelling on the cheap - I find it challenging to be able to do as much as I want, and still keeping within a budget I have in mind.

My partner and I love to cafe hunt, but only for a specific type of cafe. We particularly enjoy the atmosphere and the uplift it brings to your mood sitting down at a brightly lit, minimalist and open-plan cafe, with a good cup of latte or mocha and a good read.

My other interests are quite basic, really. As long as I am able to get some down time - away from the hustle and bustle of work life - anything works. Staying home can be strangely therapeutic, visiting a reservoir for an amazing sunset can be calming or an hour with prep can be restoring.

What makes you excited about these interests?
In travelling, the ability to see the world out there and its great landscape is seriously exciting. We are just a small dot on the world map, so imagine how much we haven’t seen and experienced.

The excitement in the search for peace and quiet - in the context of cafes for example - is that you get to identify with another person’s interpretation of a sanctuary. And it is thrilling when you come across an establishment that is so aligned with your values and thoughts that you wanna go back again and again!

You’d most likely be found getting a blowout at PREP when you need to PREP for…
Definitely for weddings, or when I feel like I have a bad hair day and I need to get out of it pronto!
