TECHNICAL DIRECTOR
Eleanor
Graduated from NUS Project and Facilities Management (Honours), and has had more than 2 years of project management experience in the (construction) industry prior to joining Build Built.
I look forward to building a space that is specially designed, for and with you.
What do you do to relax?
Spending time with my family, going for a nice walk, watching shows and singing!
What’s top on your Bucket’s List?
Professionally: It would be master a new work-related skill each year! Personally: Other than traveling to and experiencing different countries and cultures (and the list of possible places is endless), my ultimate bucket list is to go on all the journeys/adventures that I am afraid to embark on, but having the courage to step out anyway☺
What does work mean to you?
Apart from work as a means of livelihood, I see work as a gift and an opportunity that allows me to use my abilities and skills well. I want my work to be meaningful, where it has a direct positive impact others. But too much of anything good can be bad, so a rhythm of work and rest is essential to life.
Why do you do what you do?
I enjoy the entire lifecycle of the project, from planning to execution to completion, and the satisfaction that comes with it. Satisfaction from building new relationships or strengthening existing ones by doing a good job, and being part of the team that has helped clients gain their dream space.
Where is your next travel destination?
Top of my list:
- Switzerland
- New Zealand
- Anywhere in Japan
If you have unlimited resources, which world problem would you wrestle with?
Research on childbearing and how to make it the best experience for all mums (reduce risks and pain)!
What's a good film/series/book/podcast to recommend?
I keep an extensive list of Kdramas that I've watched, sorted in their various genres... feel free to ask me for any recommendations!
If you could only eat this for the rest of your life- what would it be?
Sambal stingray or anything spicy!!
Why is good design important to you ?
Good design is important because it creates good first impressions, allows showcase of personal character, is functional and improves human experience.
When a design is exceptionally well-done, it is virtually invisible and seamless; we enjoy it without focusing on the thought process and efforts that lead up to it. On the contrary, when we encounter something that is poorly designed, we can usually pinpoint its flaws, and tend to avoid using it or making the same mistake in future.
Describe the best experience that comes to mind
Gaining and giving support from/to my loved ones and being appreciated ☺
