"My main role at Will and Well is social media marketing! I design posts to keep their social media active, and also other marketing collaterals needed such as videos, EDMs and posters. Other than this, Will and Well often involves me in a range of other projects. This includes doing research and brainstorming designs for adaptive clothing for hospital patients! It’s great that the mission of the company is one that holds great purpose, something I find value in. I also love how I get to explore things out of my comfort zone and involve myself with a variety of projects. Always feel like it’s a challenge but I’m learning something new everyday. My bosses care for me outside of work as well and that’s definitely a blessing!

Outside of marketing and work, I love dancing! It’s been a passion of mine since young. Definitely something else that I’m working on growing in. It’s been a busy period but I dance whenever I can! So we’ll see how that goes! 😚"

We caught up with our GEIP 2016 SV, ME alum Ivan Cheong @ivan_andpam to find out how he's been doing!
After NP graduation, Ivan went to NS and served in the Air Force. Despite being offered direct acceptance into 2nd year for NTU Mechanical Engineering course, Ivan took the risk and went for an entrepreneurship route instead.
He founded @Fatfreq with 2 others friends.
.
Fatfreq is a local In-Ear Monitor (IEM) company. Produced here in Singapore. Started initially by passion and curiosity, they repaired damaged IEMs, gained experience and manage to pick up knowledge and skills to make our own IEMs today.
Ivan hope to be able bring their expertise and services worldwide. But first, targeting the SEA region first.
Fatfreq is currently located at 29A Mosque Street, Kreta Ayer Conservation Shophouse, Chinatown.
