Behind Will & Well | From An Intern’s Perspective

So, how do you see yourself contributing to Will & Well?

“Um…writing blog posts?” *smiles awkwardly*

Other things were said at my first meeting with Elisa, but it seems rather fitting to end my 3-month long internship stint at Will & Well with a task to – you guessed it – write a blog post.

Behind Will & Well | Our First Interns

This pandemic is a wild time for a young person with barely any working experience to be an intern. And it was just as much a learning process for us as we never had an intern on board. Thankfully, our first 3 interns embodied the spirit of Will & Well and more than just interns, they became valued members of the team.

The ‘Possible’ Seamstress | You Pin

You Pin started learning to sew at a young age of 12 because it was a skill her father had deemed necessary and suitable for women to learn. Struggling between her father’s demands and exploring her own passions through her youth, You Pin ultimately told us that she was thankful that her father had made her learn to sew.

Suiting Up | Whee Boon

5 years ago, Whee Boon woke up in the hospital to a new reality – a life with all four of his limbs amputated. Whee Boon had never worn a suit before and was looking forward to receiving an award at the end of the year. A suit that met his needs would be just what he needed for the next chapter of his journey.

“Madam Tiah is very fierce, let me accompany you on all your visits,” said the social worker. Madam Tiah was nominated as a beneficiary for our #BeTheDifference campaign and we were about to begin our first consultation with her.

Behind Adaptable

Adaptable, our latest collection, didn’t start with anything lofty like a designer’s vision. It began with our weekly practice of adapting to the people we meet. This collection is our love letter to the unyielding spirit of the clients we have met on our journey so far.
