THE Partners Monument at Taipei 101 and the Orion at the Seagate Design Centre in Singapore are just some of Florence Ng's vast portfolio of glass-themed art installations. This homegrown talent's journey, like many others, had humble beginnings.
"I first started with S$500, two people and a S$500 car, with one table under a zinc hut in a now demolished shophouse along Bartley Road," said Ms Ng.
Today, Synergraphic is a company of 30 and operates out of a landed terraced factory space. While overheads were much lower in the 1980s, her present achievements are not something she envisioned during those early days.
