“There was nothing to lose. Since I was a 21-year-old living with my parents, I knew that even if my business failed, I wouldn’t become homeless. To me, the alternative of potentially being sucked into a corporate hamster wheel was worse,” she says.
Along the way, she was introduced to community building and social impact by her husband. This made her realise that she was not only interested in pursuing entrepreneurship, but also driving social change.
“He got me to read more, do more and build our own brand of impact. The learning experience and sense of fulfilment fuelled my belief that this was what I’d love to do for as long as I can.”
So, Tiziana decided to combine the two. Now, the 27-year-old owns a company that offers creative, public relations, and event services that inspire social impact, and co-owns another that produces and distributes films that “drive social change”. And when she's not running her businesses, she imparts her skill sets: She is also an adjunct teaching mentor and faculty adviser at Singapore Management University. She opens up about what exactly spurs her ambition and the challenges that she has faced along the way.
