hello!
i’m wan ting.

Former HR professional and Talent Acquisition specialist turned certified colour analyst, I’m driven by my genuine desire to connect people to opportunities that fulfil. (That’s a line directly lifted from my resume.)

about me

I spent all 8 years of my working life in the Talent Acquisition and HR teams of a large MNC, celebrated for its pioneering HR practices, particularly in recruitment and talent assessment. There, I got a chance to work with, and learn from, some of the most inspiring yet grounded leaders. The ones I admired most possessed a rare blend of competence, the ability to communicate with nuance and clarity, and above all, they were authentic, with a genuine capacity for self-reflection, owning and learning from their mistakes.

Working with these professionals daily shaped my understanding of what "good talent" meant in the corporate landscape. It was evident that companies sought individuals who embodied these qualities, but each person expressed them in a way that was their own - their unique, personal brand. This combination of experience, personality, and inherent strengths was precisely what allowed them to stand out in their respective fields.

why
pop of poppies?

I was honeymooning in Lyon, France when my husband and I chanced upon a small garden of poppies. Every single poppy commanded attention, no matter their colour, shape or size. They were outstanding simply because; they did not labour nor spin, yet no one was ever arrayed like any one of them. And it hit me - every single one of us was differently and intricately woven, but not all of us display it. And if I could help others craft and communicate their own personal brand with nuance and clarity, just like poppies, they too would stand out in their fields.

pop of poppies is my approach to image consulting - colour analysis informed by my HR and Talent Acquisition knowledge, to help you build and contextualise your unique value proposition within the daily realities of your professional life.

Personal branding is so much more than how you dress or what you do.
I believe everyone deserves to feel beautiful, confident, and fully equipped to articulate what makes them stand out.
Let's work together to ensure your image always communicates your true value and potential.
