Let’s talk to ZZ Chen - Co-founder, Creative Director of A KIND OOOF
c) To you, what is a woman's beauty?
I think a focused woman exudes a strong sense of confidence and irresistible charm! Unshakable confidence allows you to shine from the inside, and that is beautiful.
d) What form of challenges did you face during your career?
How did you overcome these challenges?
When I left Taiwan, I had to give up my career, leave my family and friends. It was not easy, and I took a long time to adjust to life in Singapore because of the difference in culture and environment. I had to be independent, and I also had to juggle my new role being a wife and a daughter in-law. Everything was foreign to me during the first few months and I must admit it was a depressing period. But I told myself not to give up, and that I must strive towards building a better future, and to continue doing the things I love!
My new brand A KIND OOOF was my driving force, to get me back on track. It took me great courage to start a business in a foreign land, where the cost of investments were high. There were highs and lows, but after time, the great times superceded the bad because I was starting to do what I enjoyed again!
I am immensely grateful to have received support from family and friends back home, and am thankful to have made new found friendships here in Singapore. The support from all our customers and fans at A KIND OOOF motivates me to move forward. There is a saying by The Alchemist that goes, “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
Thank you all for being my universe.
Be a modern woman
Live with a decisive and elegant attitude
Redefining value, to a kind of wilful perseverance to the things you like

b)愛自己的第一步是什麼?
試著做自己，不在去在意別的人想法
比每一個昨天都更在乎來自心底的那個聲音
c) 在你心中，什麼是女性的美麗?
我認為當女性全心投入一件事情時就會真的美麗
無論那是什麼，當我們在談論他的時候，眼神都是發著光的!(笑)
擁有自信的女人會從內而在的發出光芒
形成一種專屬的獨特魅力
d) 堅持喜好的路上遇到什麼樣的挑戰?如何克服?
放棄在台灣擁有的一切(包含工作、家人、朋友)
到達新加坡後因為文化和環境的不同
還有從獨立個體進入到家庭的角色轉換
遇到了很大的衝擊波，同時也度過了一段相當低潮的時期
(你知道的 巨蟹座總是比較念舊)
-
某一個早晨決定要勇敢往前走
任性的決定要繼續做自己喜歡的事情
當那個念頭出現的時候
我的眼前彷彿出現一片光亮(笑)
確實，在異國創業需要非常大的勇氣
低資源、低掌握度、高風險，投入的心力與成本就更高了!
籌備的過程當然不可能完全順遂，遇到困難就想辦法解決
解決不了的就換一個做法
但是怎麼說好呢?
做自己喜歡的事情，這些困難就變得微不足道了
非常幸運的昰
收到了家人的支持及朋友們的協助
即使身在遠方也能感受到愛的存在
還有在IG上留言的你、在POPUP前來的你
都是支持我繼續前進的動力。
有句話說，
當你真心想做一件事情
整個宇宙都會來幫你
你們就是我的宇宙😊
