I am a passionate interior designer who enjoys the flexibility to allow me to experiment with different design elements and create unique spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. I also find a great sense of achievement in completing a project and seeing the client’s satisfaction with the end result. Some of my hobbies and interests include playing basketball and singing. I appreciate the time spent catching up with my friends and loved ones as well as meeting new people from different walks of life. A quote that inspires me in both my personal and professional life is, “It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.”

We started our renovation planning without a clear idea of what we wanted. Yong Jing was very helpful in developing the design styles we liked based on our conversations, and the final design was able to reflect the personalities of both my husband and myself. During the renovation process, Yong Jing was also very prompt in answering our questions and addressing our concerns. Although there were minor hiccups along the way, he also took charge of the situation and had full accountability, which is commendable, especially after hearing horror stories of other IDs. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an ID!

We engaged Starry Homestead and was assigned to Yong Jing. As we were first time house owner, he had since provided a lot of suggestions to our designing according to our preferences. He also gave us his honest opinions on certain designs that would not be suitable for us as we have a young child. There were some changes midway and he had been very patient in discussing them. He had also been very prompt and helpful during the entire renovation process and ensures that all the timelines are met as much as possible. Very happy to have engaged starry and Yong Jing!

Despite not moving forward with starry, I sincerely appreciate Yong Jing’s professionalism in promptly following up after one of their ex staff left the company.

I am very lucky to get Yong Jing as my ID from my walk in to their Tradehub showroom. He’ve been very professional and though the whole project took a bit longer than planned because of the carpentry work, overall Yong Jing kept a close track with the whole process and able to rectify the problems, even after the handover. I have already shared his contact to my friends as he is definitely a trustworthy ID.

We visited another ID who recommended the renovation based on their package instead of our needs before we met Yong Jing from Starry Homestead at the Tradehub 21 outlet. Throughout the whole renovation, Yong Jing was quick in responding to our queries. He showed his professionalism in providing good ideas, managing the workflows, as well as good time management. Overall, we are very satisfied with his work and definitely will recommend him to any homeowners for their home renovation.

We met YJ for the first time about 2 months before TOP of our new apartment. YJ was friendly and helpful and with many good ideas and design features. He has been very responsive to our requirements and always contactable and responsive to our calls and request for his opinion. Our Renovation was completed on time and within budget. YJ was also willing to accommodate last-minute changes when warranted. We are happy and satisfied with his dedication and commitment. We will highly recommend YJ to our family and friends who require an Interior Designer.

Yong Jing is the designer assigned to my project. He is very friendly and responsible. The communications are clear and in detail from the start to the end throughout the entire project, and the project was done on time with good quality. Yong Jing handles each item carefully although he has a lot of projects at hand. The estimation of the timeline and cost is also perfect. Highly recommended.
“Meng Lu
Yong Jing stood out due to his immediate understanding of our preferences. He provided excellent advice and worked with us to conceptualize the final designs. Yong Jing was responsive, explaining every detail and finding solutions when necessary. He was in charge of the project and the contact person for everything, removing all the stress that comes with overseeing and managing different contractors. While we exceeded our budget due to adding extra work, we are entirely in love with every detail of our home. We had a positive experience with Yong Jing and highly recommend working with him to realize your dream home.
“Liang Ninyiuk
We met around 10 IDs before choosing Yong Jing (YJ) from Starry Homestead. YJ impressed us with his personality and problem-solving skills. He was proactive in setting up meetings and timelines, and we appreciated his responsiveness even during late hours. YJ’s “kiasu-ness” helped us move in within 3 months, despite a few hiccups which he promptly informed us about and managed well. YJ demonstrated high emotional intelligence throughout the process and even arranged minor touch-ups after we moved in. Compared to our friends’ renovation experiences, we are very happy with YJ and Starry Homestead.
“January Sun
Our original plan was to check out at least 5 ID companies before deciding. Starry Homestead was our first stop and guess what? We decided on the spot to engage Starry Homestead simply because of Yong Jing. He won us over with his warm, genius personality and professionalism. We are also impressed by his passion and dedication. He constantly provides us with regular updates on the renovation progress even after office hours and on weekends. Even after completing and handing over our flat to us, he is still willing to assist us. We are thankful and grateful to have met Yong Jing. A huge Thank You to Yong Jing, for giving us his best.
“Charlen Yap
We engaged Yong Jing after talking with many other interior designers, we felt he had the best ideas and gave us good suggestions for alternatives to certain design ideas we had. During the initial design phase, Yong Jing did a great job customising our house to each individual’s needs. He also provided good after-sales service and was committed to helping us whenever we needed it. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a dedicated and hardworking interior designer.
“Jervais Oscar Howes
Yong Jing will update me on any progress and he is very accommodating to my schedule. As of right now covid situation the renovation takes longer than usual, but Yong Jing tried to finish up before the year’s end. A very nice guy to work with, ask him anything and he will try his best to answer, if he does not have the answer he will ask the contractors for you. He is very receptive to changes and he also made some suggestions along the way that makes sense. Anybody will be lucky enough to engage him.
“Derek
I would recommend you to engage Starry Homestead for your new home renovation as the services that they have provided are professional and comply with government rules. My ID, Yong Jing respects all our ideas throughout the discussions, and they do not hard sell their ideas as well. Although there were some delays in the midst of a renovation, our ID was able to communicate with contractors and get their help to expedite the process, as well as hand over our unit within the committed timeline.
“Elvin Chua
We almost decided on 1 of the 6 IDs before our son recommended Yong Jing of Starry Homestead because the latter has done a good job of his home. We decided to meet Yong Jing and were pleased with his designs after patiently fine-tuning the plan. He responded fast and coordinated our renovations with minimal hassles although manpower was a major issue during this COVID period. Great workmanship and speedy responses to our request for rectifications. Glad to give 5 stars to this young man for doing a good job.
“Poh Leng Chio
Yong Jing was the ideal choice for us. He grasped our preferences and provided advice while presenting different concepts to help us visualize our final design. He was always available to answer questions, explaining every detail and finding solutions when necessary. He kept us updated throughout the project too. He was transparent about costs and estimates, and while we went over budget due to extra work, we have no regrets. Working with Yong Jing was enjoyable and stress-free, and we wholeheartedly recommend him for his professionalism and easygoing nature. Thanks for an amazing experience!
“Ying Yu Liang
Before meeting Starry Homestead, we spoke to 10 other ID firms and almost cancelled the first meeting with Yong Jing. We were surprised by Yong Jing’s understanding of our requirements and his competitive quotation. We entrusted him with our unique situation, requiring expedited renovation before moving in. Yong Jing was collaborative, responsive, and managed a professional subcontractor team. Despite minor issues, we recommended him for my parents’ renovation. Thank you to Yong Jing, Starry Homestead, and the team for a wonderful experience.
