Meet Joanna

Learn about Joanna Jane Su Yin Cockle, a Singapore-based interior designer with Chinese–British roots and a passion for tropical, heritage, and character-rich design.

I’m Joanna, the heart behind Studio Su Yin. A creative at heart, I’ve always been drawn to spaces that tell a story - that feel lived in, and real.

Before founding Studio Su Yin, I spent more than a decade working in marketing, leading campaigns, building brands, and telling visual stories. Through it all, I designed with intention, a skill I now bring to every styling project.

I’m proud of my mixed heritage, Singaporean-Chinese/British, and after living in Singapore for over 14 years, I’ve furthered my connection to its visual identity - its details, old world architecture, textures, and lush tropical soul. These elements have become the foundation of my work and style.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design from Kingston University and a Diploma from The Interior Design Institute, grounding my work in both creativity and technical understanding.

Studio Su Yin is about styling with soul - homes that are not just beautiful, but personal, layered, and lived in.

She is smiling, with tattoos on her arms, and wearing a smartwatch and a necklace. There is a laptop on the floor, a white table to her side, and a white cabinet with books and decorative items behind her.
