Vivien Tang
Consultant
Vivien was born and raised in the Netherlands, where she studied Marketing and Communications at the University of Amsterdam, specialising in Artificial Intelligence. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and went on to work for a high-end PR company representing brands such as Tiffany & Co. and Isabel Marant in Amsterdam.
Vivien was at the time working as on online editor for Marie Claire when she made the move to Hong Kong to help them launch their upcoming hotspot as an event planner. It wasn’t long before the city’s enigmatic vibrancy and thrilling energy had romanced, and so she decided to make her stay permanent. All of which was music to her elegant grandmother’s ears – who already resided in Hong Kong.
“Finding a place that compliments you, building memories, designing it with pieces from all over the world, creating that little safe haven — it’s like a compass that guides you through a course that truly determines your home” and it is this feeling that gave rise to her interest and pushed her to pursue her passion for property.
In her spare time, Vivien enjoys doing workshops to satisfy her curious personality and when she isn’t in a cooking class or doing pottery, you can find her sailing with her friends, doing volunteer work for the homeless, or enjoying some of Hong Kong’s delicacies with her grandmother.
Vivien is an incredibly driven and passionate person; a real go-getter. She will go to great lengths to make the impossible possible.
