Ann Ong is an internationally acclaimed multi-awarded high fashion jewelry designer, visionary, and creator. She pursued the path to design way back in 2012. She knew her pieces would always be rooted for two qualities, Sustainability and Artistry.
“The pieces I’ve made have been crafted on two things – sustainability and artistry. I pursue my creative process with the help of a dear old friend, NATURE.”
Her journey had always been moving towards organic opulence, where she creates high-end fashion pieces using what she fondly calls “nature’s lovely imperfections.”
“I have always been driven to find the beauty in materials and pieces that people often overlook and underappreciate. I salvage materials and find ways to re-purpose stuff I find, as I want to show people that the common can also be transformed into something extraordinary.”
Her creative pursuits are, of course, not without their high rewards. She was awarded Best Designer at the February 2016 Winter Show in New York for her Sustainability Clutch, a beautifully hand-crafted piece from her Surround Yourself With Nature collection. She also garnered 3 consecutive awards given by CITEM, The Best Product Design for Fashion for her “Binanig” clutch on October 17, 2012. The Best Product Design for Fashion for her Virginia Clutch March 14, 2013, and The Best Product Design for her Buko Twigs Clutch bag October 17, 2013.
She is consistently active in New York trade shows like THE SHWRM, New York Now, and Curate. She also did the VOD Dubai, Maison & Objet Paris, Ambiente in Frankfurt, Germany and Fashion Access in Hong Kong.
