  • "Her specialization in Branding has depth and quality based on her portfolio. Pei Chin is a self-directed learner and driven. She is willing to take up new challenges and speak her mind, cheerful, open-minded, reflective, passionate, motivated, explorative with her ideas, concepts and executions & overall, an hardworking and consistent student. Personally, I feel that she thrives on getting out of her comfort zone and the unfamiliarity into realizing something that she envisions for her work and its final outcomes."

Even in her personal life, she makes an effort to be creative, be it in the way she presents her gifts or her ideas to us.
