SINGAPORE: &nbsp, Megan Foo has always loved craft, to the point of taking it up as one of her A-Level content. &nbsp,

But in college, she decided to study company otherwise, seeing it as a more realistic option that may open doors to a steady income. &nbsp, After graduating, she landed a selling career.
