Pamela Yeo, 24
Co-founder, Saught
Pamela Yeo is one of the co-founders of Saught, alongside Adeline Heng and Ng Sook Zhen, a social business which creates products from the scrap metal of war remnants to support sustainable development in post-conflict countries.
Despite having completed her legal education at NUS Law -- she will be called to the bar in July 2012 -- Pamela has chosen to leave legal practice to pursue Saught full-time.
Saught was first conceived in December 2010, and thereafter, its online store was launched in February 2012. Its pilot project was launched in Cambodia, where safely deactivated scrap metal supplied by national and international demining organisations, is reworked into jewellery made by Cambodian NGO workshops, supporting income generation projects.
In line with its vision and belief that co-creation is the solution to end poverty, Saught aims to work with local and international designers and design schools to create socially conscious and impactful products.
For its inaugural collection, the talented young designers from the School of Design at Temasek Polytechnic created collections of jewellery which retold the powerful story of transformation of war to peace.
