There is a tactile, printed charm to her work as she combines layered textures and nostalgic materials, weaving stories that resonate with the viewer. Ng has contributed art direction and illustrations to cultural institutions like Esplanade, The Substation and the Singapore Art Museum. She also leads zine workshops, guiding others to explore collage and found materials as a means of reconnecting through the art of printed communication.
