Royston Phang is a designer, educator, and father who turns upcycled materials into lifestyle products—and now, teaches kids woodworking workshops through SALTTWORKSHOP Junior. This film was created to give parents a sense of who Royston is, how he works, and why his approach is safe, engaging, and meaningful.

Rather than positioning him as a formal instructor, we focused on candid conversations and observation. Royston shared his love for family, creativity, and hands-on learning while leading real workshop sessions. Parents get to see his patience, care, and values in action, and how potentially dangerous tools are introduced safely and thoughtfully.

By showing Royston interacting naturally with the children, the film builds trust and reassurance. It highlights that the workshop isn’t just about woodworking—it’s about creativity, guidance, and memorable experiences for both kids and parents.

This project reminded me why a story-first approach matters: capturing the real moments, relationships, and values behind the work creates content that resonates, reassures, and connects, far beyond polished visuals alone.
