Glenn Toh
Interior Designer
Glenn graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design, from the Glasgow School of Art Singapore. Inspired by the ethos that good design resonates and speaks for itself, he embarked on his journey with the philosophy that all homes should be pragmatic yet safe and intimate sanctuaries for their users. Glenn firmly believes in being open-minded and keeping a lookout for fresh perspectives in radical concepts that can transcend modern-day design barriers. Meticulous and dedicated to his line of work, Glenn applies the same school of thought to his personal goal to grow and achieve milestones in tandem with the closely knitted team he considers his second family.
