THE DESIGNER - PAT
That's not my first name. Often mistaken for this rare find, Pat is actually my last name.
Hi, I'm Teng. My friends have always marvelled at my knack for recalling things, even memories from 2 decades ago. For that, i credit my sentimentality towards life's little details.
For me, writing cards has become more of a cherished ritual than a mere habit. It's a reminder of how words can immortalise moments; safeguarding them from the whims of time. There's a unique joy in watching someone open an envelope to discover a personalised card crafted just for them, completing the occasion with heartfelt sentiments.
In today's digital age, it's easy to get caught up in the speed and convenience of technology. But I believe there's something special about embracing the traditions of yesteryears. It's about reconnecting with the deeper essence of commnunication, where every stroke of the pen carries a piece of our heart.

Teng deserves 5 stars for her speedy, prompt response and delivery! Her pieces are also so beautiful. i contacted her on Monday for about 23 cards (as my other card contact cancelled my order in view of the COVID19 circuit breaker). Teng churned out all 23 cards and mailed out by Friday. Thanks for working into the wee hours!!!!
Teng was super responsive and friendly! Everything was done within half a day! The card came nicely packed with bubble wrap plus some meaningful small cards. Very very thoughtful of Teng! Keep doing what you do!
The Designing Pat produces fantastic handmade cards. When I first chanced upon her website, I was a little hesitant as I was afraid the 3d cards and pop up cards would be damaged during postage. But they offers great service ensuring that the cards do not gets damaged during delivery.
