SMU School of Economics alumnus and founder of local men’s accessories label Gnome & Bow Quanda Ng was featured in an article where he shared about his business philosophy and the challenges he faced on his entrepreneurial journey. Gnome & Bow was finally born after crowdfunding made it possible by raising more than $37,000 in five weeks in early 2014. Now, after three years, and with a team of three others, Mr Ong is reaping the fruits of his labour - Gnome & Bow products are being sold at local stores, such as Tangs and Naiise. Mr Ong has also expanded his business overseas to the Philippines and Sweden.
