Rachel and Rebecca Chew: Twin Wonder Girls

Rachel and Rebecca Chew Twin Wonder Girls
They say twins have lots in common and share almost everything. Well, bubbly sisters Rachel and Rebecca Chew never dreamt that one day, they would be sharing the same sense of achievement and success that comes with finishing top of their class. Both were sole recipients of a first class honours degree from KBU International College's pioneering batch of graphic design students.

The 21-year-old girls completed their 3+0 BA (Hons) in graphic design from Nottingham Trent University, United Kingdom, and took part in Sequence 2004, a graphic design and interior architecture design showcase which marked the culmination of their three-year degree programme.

Rachel's project, aptly named Sun-kissed, centred on a girl's relationship with the sun while Rebecca produced a book called Unbanana which takes a humorous look at the quirkiness of being Chinese in today's world.

And while the sisters have very different styles, older twin Rachel admitted that they give each other a great deal of emotional support. Being a twin also has its share of perks.

"Being in the same programme, we were able to brainstorm and bounce ideas off each other as well as give constructive criticism," said Rachel, who hopes to enter the advertising field in the near future.

The twins insist there is no rivalry between them.
