SHORT ABOUT ME

I'M A HIGHLY VISUAL PERSON WHO PREFERS TO OBSERVE, ANALYSE, AND CREATE — FINDING MEANING THROUGH DETAILS, COMPOSITION, AND QUIET EXPRESSION RATHER THAN WORDS.

A short story

about me

Yeo Keh Thomas has been in the training and coaching scene since he was just 17 years old. Now nearing 60, he brings with him more than 40 years of experience — from training soldiers in the Singapore Army to mentoring young designers in advertising and creative studios.

After stepping away from the visual communications industry, he chose to focus on adult education, where he now teaches and guides adult learners and seniors through WSQ ATO-PEI courses.

Q

In one sentence, what do you do?

I draw, paint, observe, and create — usually finding joy in the small details people often miss. I enjoy turning ideas and everyday moments into something visual, thoughtful, and a little more meaningful.

Q

What's something small that always makes your day better?

A pencil and a piece of paper. Somehow, even after all these years, it still feels comforting. I like being able to sketch, doodle, or just put a random thought down quietly — it helps me slow down and clear my mind a little.

Q

What do you enjoy doing when you're not working?

A cup of Teh-Ice at any coffeeshop and watching people passing by.

Q

One random thing you love that has nothing to do with your job.

Scrolling through Shopee to find building blocks to assemble.

Q

If a friend had to describe your "vibe", what would they say?

Emotionless.

Q

What's one small teaching habit you have that others might not notice?

I often buy extra materials or tools for my learners without saying much about it. I just enjoy making sure they have enough to explore, experiment, and learn comfortably during class.

Q

Share 2–4 past projects, works, or experiences you feel best represent your journey.

  • The Singapore Tourism Map (2001)
  • Holiday Inn Global Branding (2009)
  • Sportslink Branding Exercise (2014)
  • My first Watercolour class (2020)
Q

How many years have you been in your field, teaching, training, or mentoring?

40+ years in the field, and 40+ years teaching, training, and mentoring.

Q

What do you enjoy most about teaching?

Watching the grateful smile of realisation on my junior's face.

Q

If your class had one "unwritten rule", what would it be?

Respect the work and ideas of others — don't claim someone else's work as your own. Everyone has their own creative journey, and honesty matters just as much as talent.
