To turn their clients’ dreams and aspirations into reality—that is the mission of SkeTchwork Design & Style, a design practice founded by interior designer Sulini Tjoeng. As the chief of design, Tjoeng aims to create spaces that are warm and hospitable, whether she’s designing a restaurant or a cosy home.

Backed with over a decade of experience, Tjoeng currently lives in Singapore; she was previously based in Australia and Dubai to be on the ground for her international projects. She has designed the interiors of a wide array of work, ranging from offices to hotels for multinational companies, as well as luxurious residences in Asia. Notable recent projects by the firm include the design of Rumours Beach Club at Singapore’s Siloso Beach in Sentosa and a modern monochromatic house in Singapore.

“Each design assignment that I lead exemplifies the integration of art, design, and technical expertise. My strength lies in producing creative concepts for all the projects that I lead,” says Tjoeng. “I am very passionate about creativity, using my imagination, being inspired by, and inspiring others. We listen, we sketch, and we tailor and customise your space to fit your style. My firm is regarded as a design leader; we work closely with our clients to complete extraordinary projects and have a robust framework that allows us to complete our projects on time, within the budget given, and in an efficient manner.”

As evident in the name of the firm, sketches make up an important part of Tjoeng’s creative process. She takes pride in the fine detailing seen in her portfolio; all joinery in her projects are custom-made and designed to suit each client’s needs. Explains Tjoeng: “I’ve always loved to draw; most of my work starts from hand sketches that are approved by the client before we create the 3D renderings for the project. I wanted to become an interior designer because the role allows me to express myself creatively while requiring analytical and technical skills; to study the details and apply these to my designs.”
