From Design to Finance
Hi 👋 my name is JingTing, call me JT for short 🙂. Coming from a design background 👩🏻🎨, I may seem like an unusual fit for finance. But at the heart of both is the same goal: Solving real problems and making life better for people 💆🏻♀️. Here’s what you can expect when we work together:
🧠 Detailed, Customised Planning, Backed by Rationale
Every job, family dynamic, and savings habit is different. I take all of that into account to build a 360° plan tailored to your life — to make your wealth work for you, not the other way around.
🧮 Creative Problem Solving
The right strategy can make a huge difference in growth, efficiency, and even cost savings.
🧡 Strong Empathy, Always
I’ve been where you are — confused, uncertain, overwhelmed. I’m here to guide, not push. You’ll get honest advice, zero pressure, and lots of encouragement.
My Story
I didn’t grow up trusting financial consultants ⚠️ 🙅🏻♀️
Since young, my parents had warned me about them, because back in their time, too many were just chasing commissions. We knew insurance was important, but we never got enough coverage, because we didn't trust that they had our best interests in mind.
As for investment plans? That was a hard no. Too many horror stories. Hidden fees. We wouldn't even open ourselves to sit through these conversations.
So I tried figuring it out myself 🫣 💹
I started dabbling in investments based on what friends and family told me, with no real understanding, just hearsay, but by the time we received any form of news, it was already old news. Plus, I was trading with too much emotions, not knowing when to hold on, sell, or should I just give up altogether.
Then came the economic downturn 📈 🫨
Just as the world was recovering from the Covid stock market plunge, another wave hit — this time from within the tech and creative industries. With AI rapidly advancing, mass layoffs started rolling in. It hasn’t taken over all our jobs yet, but it’s already changing how we work, and cutting roles that used to feel stable.
That was a wake-up call for me. If jobs are no longer secure, then savings alone will never be enough. The rich will continue to grow their wealth through investing, while everyone else risks falling further behind. I realised that the only way to keep up — and eventually get ahead — is to start investing early and to learn how to do it properly.
Why I decided to enter Finance 👩🏻💻 🏦
I wanted to understand, once and for all, how investing really works. If the rumours about high fees and poor returns were true, then why are financial consultants buying these products for themselves?
I wanted the truth, not just for me, but for others like me who didn’t know where to start or who to trust.
And that’s when everything changed ✨ 🌈
The deeper I went, the more I realised that real financial planning, when done right, with heart and integrity, can change lives.
Many financial products, beyond all the noise and scepticism, are actually well-designed tools meant to protect, grow, and optimise your assets. They’re not inherently good or bad or benefit only one party, it's fair. Like any tool, it’s how you use them that makes the difference. When matched correctly to our goals, they can create powerful outcomes, often with more stability and consistency than people expect.
That’s why I stayed — to protect and empower as many people as I can, so no one gets left behind.
