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 - that made them stand out.
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 of them. It was like they knew they were made to stand out, so they did. Not because they were competing, but because they were each fully themselves.
pop of poppies is my approach to image consulting - colour analysis informed by my expertise in hiring, personal branding, and professional storytelling. It’s for those who know they have something valuable to offer, but just need the tools to show it.
Whether through colour and style, resume refinement, or interview coaching, my goal is simple: to help you look, sound, and feel like the person you already are - but sharper, clearer, and impossible to overlook.
