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

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?
I am the co-founder of Secret {W} Business, a network of women entrepreneurs, innovators and change makers in Asia Pacific. Our goal is to make entrepreneurship and innovation accessible to every woman by helping them to make passions and ideas come to life. On the side, I am also a freelance web designer.

What are some of the best parts of your work that you look forward to?
Helping women take the leap and seeing them start their own business is amazing. I love that my day is around connecting people, growing our network in other cities, collaborating with amazing entrepreneurs on events/ventures, and making things happen. Oh, and the fact that I have my own schedule is priceless — I can finally be a night owl without feeling guilty!

What are some interests you have outside of work?
Photography, traveling, meditation, reading, art house cinema, design, and all things digital

What makes you excited about these interests?
Photography, traveling and meditation are great for me to switch off and be fully present. I try to travel once or twice a month to have some “me” time and get inspired. Photography has changed my way of looking at things: suddenly you start noticing the details, the light, the shape, the textures, and you see how much beauty is around you. It’s amazing.

You’d most likely be found getting a blowout at PREP when you need to PREP for…
Very special occasions!

Jinhui Liu

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!

What are some of the best parts of your work that you look forward to?
My teammates and colleagues! And the free nespresso machines.

What are some interests you have outside of work?
I practice yoga frequently, and go running outdoors. I also enjoy music, movies and learning new languages.

What makes you excited about these interests?
By trying new things and honing on my interests, I can see myself developing more fully and see an improvement in these areas which is encouraging.

You’d most likely be found getting a blowout at PREP when you need to PREP for…
Any cause for a celebration!!

SHERMEEN TAN

What do you work as?
A brand designer.

What are some of the best parts of your work that you look forward to?
Learning the most random facts while I’m researching to weave a tighter brand story together, like did you know the collective noun for zebras is a zeal of zebras ? Sieving through hundreds of visuals to create moodboards with the perfect nuances. Seeing a brand being birthed into life. Working with people who like to dress as strangely as me.

What are some interests you have outside of work?
Drinking tea. Reading. People. Workshops. Wikipedia & IMDB. Being curious.

What makes you excited about these interests?
Learning something new! Breadth, depth, skills-wise, about yourself, about someone else, about the cat next door, etc. It’s tons of fun.

You’d most likely be found getting a blowout at PREP when you need to PREP for…
A hot date with myself.

What do you work as?
I’m an orthodontist with my own private practice (The Orthodontic Clinic), a part time tutor to the postgraduate orthodontic residency programme at NUS and a visiting consultant to the National Dental Centre, Toofdoctor Dental Surgeons and GPA Dental. I’m also the Vice President of the Association of Orthodontists (Singapore).

What are some of the best parts of your work that you look forward to?
Helping my patients achieve that beautiful smile they’ve always wanted. As braces treatments usually take 1-3 years to complete, I get the chance to really get to know my patients. It’s amazing to watch them grow up, especially if they started seeing me at a younger age.

What are some interests you have outside of work?
I attend regular Pilates classes. Most of my free time is definitely spent with my family, spending quality time with my son whenever I can, and catching up with good friends.

What makes you excited about these interests?
Pilates is great for strengthening your core and back, which is so important for us dentists. Personally, it’s very important that all mothers, not just working mothers, set aside time for themselves. Be it having tea with girlfriends, or getting your hair done at PREP, taking care of yourself restores the energy needed to cope with demands that parenting or work places on you.

You’d most likely be found getting a blowout at PREP when you need to PREP for…
Wedding dinners, parties or when I just feel like having some “me” time.
