Meet the designer

Artist Cally Ling captures the essence of the iconic shophouses in her drawings. Having grown up in Singapore, these national treasures have always been a big inspiration to her in her art and profession as a graphic designer.

“I want to capture the soul of these shophouses, not only the amazing intricate architectural details but also the stories they hold. These shophouses are like magical gems, spread out across the city. Their unique personalities are a symbol of Singapore culture and the diversity it beholds. They really are a national treasure.”
