Ms NG Sylvia

Ms. Sylvia Ng has been a landscape designer for over 16 years.  Her work experiences have been a balance and integration between design and project management.  She believes in the importance of designing and managing a project from start to completion in order to ensure design quality and end-user satisfaction. Most of her projects are mainly commercial and hospitality-oriented, and some were government revitalization and local urban renewal projects such as the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal Park and the Central Police Station.
