“I love what I do and do what I love, with the people I love.  Every project is a gift, savored with delight… clients are treated like valued friends… team members are deeply cherished.”

Shoi is a professional designer and an experienced project manager. She has been designing for small & micro businesses, solopreneurs & authors since 2002. Her forte is designing elegant websites, online stores & visual branding.

In the mid-1980s, Shoi was an admin assistant in the BBC UK’s Politics & Current Affairs News Room. She then moved on to manage a London-based fashion house, coordinating their businesses worldwide… from manufacturing in China, to retail outlets all across Europe and the US. When she returned to Malaysia in the ’90s, she also ran her own interior design company before starting EMasters with Raymond Siew in 2002. In 2013, EMasters was restructured — and the design division was rebranded as Design by Shoi, an independent web & graphic design boutique.

Shoi also curates for Nusantara Collection, an online fashion & lifestyle store… and is the editor of It’s My Life, their lifestyle magazine.

When she’s not designing, Shoi indulges in her passions: fashion, movies, books, pretty things, her cat Angel, her son Mark. She loves an evening out with good company, good conversation & good food—preferably all at the same time.

While consuming copious amounts of Earl Grey & digestives, Jon ensures that every single piece of bespoke graphic destined for the printers conforms to strict printing standards. His print-ready artwork is impeccable (as is his sense of humor).

Armed with a BA (hons) in Graphic Design from the UK, Jon relocated to Phuket, Thailand in 2006. He has 25 years of design experience for us to call upon.

When he’s not chained to his Mac, Jon may be found shackled to his dragon boat or playing darts or hosting quiz night.

“Rock solid work and result driven focus.”

“Building your website isn’t just about making you look good, it’s about building connections. Connecting your business with your ideal customers, and connecting who you are with your business.”
