Background

Being born prematurely, Pat Law could not speak for the first four years of her life. Due to her early drawing abilities, her parents sent her for fine arts classes when she was four. She had continued to draw even after overcoming her inability to talk. Eventually, she pursued her studies in marketing where she could turn her creativity into profit.[1]


Growing up, Pat also helped her parents run their duck rice hawker stall at Changi Airport’s staff canteen. At the age of 14, she worked as a toilet cleaner to earn her allowance and at 15 years old, she freelanced as a graphic designer while studying.[2] In 2009, she joined the marketing industry and worked in companies such as AKQA, Publicis, Leo Burnett/Arc Worldwide, TBWA and Ogilvy.


Coming from a humble background, Pat Law had previously spoken out about the dwindling hawker culture in Singapore and had voiced her displeasure regarding the mistreatment of hawkers in Singapore. In October 2018, she posted several Instagram Stories expressing her thoughts and pointed out several key unresolved issues hawkers are facing now such as high rents and the lack of health insurance.[3]
