“I loved Della’s enthusiasm, energy and knowledge. I am taking away a lot of tips on VM (visual merchandising) and am certainly encouraged to study and learn more about VM and operations.” - Zuzana I, Stones that Rock -

“Kok Wai really understands the challenges and needs of SMEs. I have the privilege of being his client. He made me see things I could not see, in the way that is non-threatening. The website, advice and guidance he helped me do and provided me with were very good. I am engaging him again for something else related to web content. He is really good!!! And I mean it, cos someone said that last week too!!”
