Armed with a creative ethos that knows no bounds, it is no wonder that Teo turns to Citi's most exclusive credit card as a trusted companion in his pursuit of perfection and pleasure
Acclaimed designer Massimo Vignelli once said: "Styles come and go. Good design is a language, not a style."
A design language that transcends time, trends, and boundaries is one that Roy Teo speaks fluently. As the founder of The Mill Group, an award-winning consortium of design firms, his creative ethos is to challenge the norm and design art that is appreciated by the discerning. With an eye for the ultra-luxe and a hunger to create the unexpected and beautiful, Teo is arguably one of Singapore's most notable design names to watch.
When quizzed about what 'ultimate living' means to him, the creative tastemaker has a multi-faceted philosophy: "For me, ‘ultimate living’ comprises precisely both parts of the term. The ultimate goal is to sustain a joyous state of mind—I use the term 'joy' because happiness is fleeting, but in any case, both are intangible. And living - the physical and tangible conditions of one's experiences - cue, affect and enhance these intangible emotions".
His affinity for building spaces with depth, imagination, character, and timelessness is also reflected in his off-duty passions. One of them involves restoring luxury automobiles—a hobby that stems from his time in university, when he saved up hard to acquire his first car—a Triumph convertible.
With such discerning tastes, it is no wonder then that Teo has turned to one of Citi’s most exclusive and coveted credit cards as a trusted partner in his pursuit of pleasure.

Granted only to a select few, the Citi Ultima Mastercard allows tastemakers and design mavens like Teo to live without limits. Besides access and exclusivity, what Teo appreciates most about the Citi Ultima Card is the bespoke services offered and the points that do not expire, because “sometimes life moves so fast you forget when and how to slow down—but I don't ever have to worry about that when I need the points most".
