2024 Winner

Ms Wing Shuen, Noel Chan


Title: Associate
Company: XLMS Limited
Design Philosophy:

My design philosophy centers on creating spaces that authentically reflect the identity and aspirations of their occupants; I see each room as a story.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked on a wide array of projects, from residential to commercial and hospitality, each presenting unique challenges that have enhanced my adaptability and innovation. I focus on using organic materials and natural light to foster environments that promote tranquility and a connection to nature. My clients are always at the core of my designs, as I strive to integrate their narratives into every project.

As an award-winning designer, my journey includes invaluable experiences with firms like Steve Leung Designers, BTR Workshop, and Joey Ho Design. At Joey Ho, I developed my ability to create cohesive spaces that honor cultural heritage, while my time at Steve Leung refined my approach to user-centric environments. Notable projects include the Spring Learning Center, Urban Bakery Works and SZ observation deck. Working on my own apartment project was particularly transformative, culminating in awards from Home Journal and the OPAL Interior Design Awards.

Currently, I lead the Luxury Residential sector at XLMS in Hong Kong. My portfolio features prominent projects such as the May Tower Luxury Apartment, which won the Bronze Award for Best Designer Apartment at the 2023 Home Journal Awards.

I believe I deserve a spot among the 40 Under 40 winners for my dedication to pushing the boundaries of interior design. This recognition would affirm my journey and provide a platform to advocate for individuality, sustainability, and cultural relevance in design.
