1st Place — Her Code, Her Cause Hackathon
May 2026 (Women Devs SG x Open Government Products)
This was my first hackathon. I went in to learn, not to win. But when my team chose to spend most of our time listening to real nurses and social workers instead of jumping straight to building, something in us clicked. This was a truly rewarding experience!
The technology was the easy part, understanding the problem deeply enough to solve it was the real work. Walking away with first place reminded me why I do what I do: building things that actually matter for people who need them.
What we built:
FOLD — an AI-powered training and response tool for frontline family violence professionals.
The problem: Teachers, nurses, and volunteers are often first to notice signs of family violence, but they freeze because they've never been trained to respond. By the time they act, it's too late.
What FOLD does:
Before the crisis: AI simulation where the victim talks back — coaches you based on your own hesitation patterns, not a generic playbookDuring the crisis: Speak 5 words into the app and a call is made to 999. No forms, no menus. Context auto-loaded from profile.
After the crisis: Turns a 30-minute reporting form into 30 seconds of automated documentation
Openclaw & AI Workflow Workshops
Apr 2026 - Present
What it is:
first AIde is an AI education community I founded to bridge the gap between people who are curious about AI agents and people who actually use them. In collaboration with The AI Burrow, we run paid, hands-on workshops teaching professionals how to set up, configure, and deploy their own AI agents using OpenClaw. What started as informal sharing sessions has grown into a structured workshop series, an active Telegram community, and an emerging automation consulting practice.
What I do:
Curriculum design, brand and creative direction, event production (Luma, Stripe, pricing strategy), workshop facilitation, community growth, and partnership management.
3 cohorts delivered, 40+ professionals trained, 70+ community members, and designing workflow automation for our members.
How it Started
When Openclaw first came out, it took X by storm. I started tinkering with it in Jan 2026. Eventually I wanted to know what other people were doing, so I hosted an informal AI gathering at my place. Couches, floor, laptops plugged into the TV, dinner happening at the same time. No agenda and just us showing each other what we'd been doing with AI. It was truly inspiring to witness the different usecases regardless of whether it was creative production or workflow automation.
first AIde - Telegram Community
The meetup inspired me to start an AI journal to log my tinkering progress, and overtime it grew. Now I update the channel with regular AI digests, as well as my journal in identifying the needs of different business owners and freelancers and helping them to build with AI.
NOW - Openclaw workshops, Automation flows for businesses, Community Building
What started as a sharing session has evolved into developing curriculum and even more tinkering with AI tools and its ever expanding potential.
The real interest and potential lies in the untapped usage of everyday business owners and retail, who have yet to adapt to AI to improve efficiency.
I am now expanding the curriculum, and looking forward to host even more meetups in Singapore, and other countries!
Here's an AI coffeechat i hosted in Bangkok!
illiterate.flowers studio
Apr 2026 - Present
What it is: illiterate.flowers is a floral studio in Singapore that I'm building from scratch using AI as a co-founder. Named after my grandmother who is illiterate, the brand explores what it means to build a business around feeling rather than reading. On the operations side, I'm using Claude (OpenClaw) to handle everything from brand development and creative direction to order tracking, content generation, and eventually automated posting. The goal is to build a workflow where someone who can't read or write can still run a business.
What I do: Brand strategy and creative direction, floral arrangement and sourcing, customer relations, content creation, and designing the AI-powered operational backend. Every part of the business — from the brand guide to the pricing model to the Instagram captions — was built in collaboration with Claude.
My grandmother lost her job washing dishes. She's spent her whole life working with her hands, but she's never been able to read. I kept thinking about what she could do next and it hit me that flowers don't require literacy. You don't need to read to know if a stem is fresh, if a colour works, if an arrangement feels right. She's been doing that her whole life without knowing it.
So I started a flower studio and named it after her. Not despite her illiteracy — because of it.
How it Started
AI Usecase #1
Painpoint: Many businesses, like florists buy flowers wholesale and eventually have inconsistent profit margins due to poor calculation of wastage + potential. Sometimes, it might even make sense to reject an order due to huge wastage. How can we easily calculate ROI?
Solution: Dashboard with a 'Production Run Calculator'
The video tabulates data points of per stalk wholesale price + constitution of each catalog item. It immediately calculates ROI potential % + provides immediate suggestions to push sales towards a certain design/, all with a simple design (dosent include misc costs yet) This base would work for businesses dealing w inventory management and optimisation esp w perishables
