We Believe in Growing
For a company to grow, it is imperative to develop better systems and solutions, to learn from mistakes and to continue to refine and improve.
Who We Are
Soundzipper is a Singapore based acoustics consultancy with one main goal: “making life sound better” through creative and holistic solutions to acoustic problems, considering not just equipment and technical requirements but also the intangible aspects of aesthetics and usability.
The beginning of a passion
In its earliest days, Soundzipper was initially conceived as a recording studio project by Adrian Lo, driven by his interest in music and sound engineering. Realising that having a great sounding studio with appropriate acoustic treatment played a significant part in the quality of music being created and produced, Adrian discovered the possibility of turning a gap in the industry into a business opportunity, and often jokes that “I wanted to build the best sounding studio for myself, but ended up designing great sounding studios for others first”. Since then, Soundzipper has also ventured into architectural and room acoustics for more widespread applications, as well as different extents of soundproofing, addressing an increasingly common need for higher levels of sound isolation against excessive noise in dense urban cities.
The Soundzipper Family
Stanley QuekSales EngineerSingapore Institute of Technology, University of GlasgowI studied Civil Engineering and spent a year as a site engineer before shifting into sales engineering. That combination of technical grounding and commercial exposure shapes how I work with clients at Soundzipper. Architects, developers, and contractors each come to a project with different priorities and different vocabularies. Having worked across both the technical and commercial sides of construction, I can follow those conversations properly and engage with them on their terms.
Role & Impact
My focus is on finding where Soundzipper can genuinely help, understanding what a project needs before presenting anything, and making sure the solution fits the brief rather than the other way around. When discussions move into tender documents and contracts, I stay involved to make sure what was agreed is captured correctly and carried through. Every project is different. The technical credibility matters as much as the commercial relationship, and both take time to build.
Ahamed AlfaiedProject EngineerLASALLE College of the ArtsI trained as an audio engineer before I came into acoustics. Years of live sound recording, studio production, and mixing taught me how to listen to a space and understand what it is doing to sound. When I joined Soundzipper, that background carried over directly. The physics is the same; what changes is the context. Instead of tuning a mix, you are measuring whether a building meets its acoustic criteria.
Role & Impact
I lead site testing and inspection activities and coordinate with contractors and clients through the construction phase. My work covers AV and architectural acoustics specifications, project execution oversight, and commissioning. I also develop internal tools and workflows to make project management more efficient across the team.
Leia MowAcoustic DesignerSingapore PolytechnicI joined Soundzipper to get direct exposure to the construction industry and understand where my skills fit. Acoustics was not something I had planned for, but it made sense given my architecture background. The field is niche, and the learning curve is real. A lot of the work comes down to explaining treatment options clearly to clients working within tight budgets, and making sure what gets specified actually matches what they need.
Role & Impact
My work spans acoustic design and project coordination. I propose acoustic treatment options suited to each project environment, manage client expectations through the design process, and prepare technical drawings and documentation using AutoCAD and Revit. I also support submissions and help keep deliverables on track across active projects.
Ivana SimicHuman ResourcesUniversity of Belgrade & University of LjubljanaI am a dedicated HR professional from Serbia. I joined the team in April 2019, attracted by the company culture and the brilliant international team of people gathered at Soundzipper. My mission is to bring in and retain the most talented people.
Involvement & Impact
My HR role at Soundzipper is designed as a proactive position that assists management to maintain business continuity and success. HR oversees the recruiting, interviewing, and hiring of new staff, consults with management on strategic planning and serves as a link between the management team and employees. HR identifies the key motivators and retention factors for each employee.
Shalynn WeeAdmin & Operations ExecutiveSingapore Institute of ManagementI graduated from SIM with a Diploma in International Business. I started as an intern with Soundzipper in November 2021 and converted into a full-time employee after 3 months. It was a very new venture for me as I’ve always been working in the nightlife and have never worked in an office before.
Role & Impact
As an admin & operations executive, I perform the full spectrum of coordination and administrative duties ensuring that team members get the necessary administrative support that they need.
