Born in Kuala Lumpur, Sokkuan is a Singapore-based freelance illustrator and graphic designer, who believes she must have been a lazy gardener in her previous life! Having began her career as a graphic designer, then art director at Ogilvy & Mather, she creates works that reflect a distinctive style and personality which most of her audiences recognise without fail, regardless of the genres and types of works.
In this curation, Sokkuan shares with us her favourite items from our site, from her perspective as a creative professional!
The New Forward is the brainchild of Keat and Aizyl, both of whom are passionate about helping designers within the Southeast Asian region gain more exposure about their art. A Malaysian-based online magazine where tech, design and indie business meet, The New Forward shares frequent updates and stories of those who create, make, and innovate.
Hence, to celebrate the biculturalism that most of us are fondly familiar with, we invited Keat and Aizyl to curate a collection for us, with designs that espouse the cultural similarities of Malaysia and Singapore. Enjoy browsing through the products that the duo have thoughtfully selected here, and read on to find out more about them and what they do!
Now let's be honest - when was the last time a corporate gift made you smile, as a recipient? Or for the gifters - when was the last time you were excited about despatching the items, and expecting a big thank you call or email from your clients or partners?
Corporate gifts have revolved around a bland and standard eke of USB drives, power banks, mugs and cardholders. Let's turn it all around now, to make corporate gifting more personal and memorable.
Showcase your organisation's unique heritage and culture by selecting items that are designed and made from the area you are based in, or reiterate your firm's commitment to the environment by selecting something that is sustainably and locally made. Go beyond the tested boundaries and get creative with a product that will stand out and leave a lasting impression on your clients and partners.
We trawl the world wide web for cool corporate gift ideas, and round this up with our top 10 picks of local designs that won't break the bank, but will pleasantly surprise your clients.
