A team where difference is valued...
Clee
The Theorist
Clee spent her first 30 years following rigorously the path of a "model student". After graduating from LSE majored in Economics and working with top consulting firms and MNCs for more than 10 years, she decided to become the designer of her own life. Her inquiry stems from both her unsatisfaction and frustration as a salary-woman and her rediscovery of our becoming through the experience of parenting. Her current interest ranges widely, from Design Theory, Evolution and Ecology, Systems Thinking and Complexity, to Poststructuralism and Posthumanism Philosophy.
Clee is a certified Nature Experience Coach and an Advanced Open Water Diver. She has acquired Hong Kong Eco-Tourism Certificate, Mountain Crafts Certificate (Level 1) and Standard First Aid Certificate. Clee was awarded the Postgraduate Diploma in Photography from HKUSpace, and has been the official English and Mandarin guide for Art Basel Hong Kong for 3 years. She is now finishing up her (second) Master's study in School of Design, PolyU HK.
Paula
"Curiosity killed the cat" - Paula doesn't agree. Curiosity is a good thing. It may well help to kill the rat, not the cat. Look at Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Issac Newton - the question of "WHY?" goes a long way.
Curiosity has carried Paula on many journeys. Curious about how the human body works? She went to Medical School and got her Master's Degree in Medicine. Curious about how to raise a healthy baby? She got her second Bachelor's Degree (!!) in food and nutrition. Curious about the world and the universe? She started writing articles on science and medicine for renowned Chinese digital media. Curiosity should never stop! That explains why Paula treasures kid's curiosity and the sparkles in their eyes so much.
