_{The above reflects a sketch to stitch process of my hand-embroidery. This was conceived as a retirement gift to a father who spent 40 years with Nanyang Polytechnic. The photo captures his mother and his grand-daughter – a heirloom piece for generations.}

How it works

1. Share your photo references and stories/details with me
2. We will creatively collab – I’ll take your images and words and translate them into a concept and propose to you — something inspired, unique, and tailored to you.
3. I’ll stitch it by hand – I’ll design and hand-stitch your piece with care, keeping your vision and meaning at the heart of every stitch.

If you have further questions, please visit my FAQ on the custom commissions page.

Pricing

It starts from $200 for a portrait outline on a 16cm hoop.

About Custom Embroidery Commissions

Each piece I create is completely custom — designed from scratch, hand-stitched with care, with the hope that it will remain with you for a long time. Because this is not mass-produced embroidery, prices will reflect the time, skill, and love that go into every stitch.

You’re not just buying art — you’re supporting slow, meaningful work made to last.
