NYP dominated WorldSkills Lyon 2024, winning 8 out of Singapore's 19 medals!
Best of Nation and Gold Award in Visual Merchandising
Victoria Cheong
Dip. in Experiential Product & Interior Design,
Victoria crafted an impressive display to promote a French skincare product made from sea minerals. She intricately created a 3D seahorse, mesmerising every visitor. A “Net Bag” on the seahorse's tail also highlights the impact of discarded nets on marine creatures that may be trapped, while promoting upcycling for sustainability. Her powerful message about protecting marine life and environmentally conscious practices truly wowed everyone!
As a testament to her work, WorldSkills International will showcase Victoria's display in the WorldSkills Museum in Shanghai.
