Tell us a bit about yourself and your journey here.
I’m from Los Angeles and was formerly a hospitality designer. I moved to Hong Kong in 2007 to work on hotels in Macau and the region, including Marina Bay Sands. I met my British husband Tom up in Hong Kong and we lived there for 10 years and had Lukas and Lila there.
Tom’s company then brought us to Singapore in 2017. As an interior designer, I’ve always loved design and art, and I began a small business, Lot33art, sourcing decorative art. I’m currently finishing a master’s degree in real estate investment and finance as part of a career transition post-COVID.
What kind of home in Singapore were you looking for?
Coming from Hong Kong, we were looking for more space but with young kids we were immediately attracted to condo living. We’re a social family and condo living provided the option for being in a wonderful area with fantastic amenities. A balcony and central location were at the top of our list. We were used to city living in Hong Kong and being 10 minutes from everything like work, restaurants and green spaces; the River Valley area ticked all our boxes.
