Finding the Perfect Balance: A New Chapter for Ja’dew
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from running Ja’dew, it’s that finding balance is an ongoing journey. For the longest time, I’ve held onto the idea that a personal workspace and a dedicated showroom should exist side by side—a place where I could fully focus on my work while also having a proper space to meet customers and showcase our collection. But reality has a way of reshaping our perspectives.
The Dilemma: Between Work & Motherhood
Running a business and raising two little ones isn’t easy. KL traffic? A nightmare. Every hour spent on the road meant one less hour for my kids or my work. And while our previous move was supposed to be the perfect fix—a bigger, more polished space for both an office and a showroom—it came with its own challenges. Being in a residential setting meant some customers, especially first-timers, felt hesitant. And no matter how beautiful the space was, I found myself constantly torn between being physically present at the showroom and being there for my children.
The Realization: Home is Where the Heart (and Work) Is
One day, it just hit me—why am I making things harder than they need to be? Working from home allows me to maximize my time, work efficiently, and most importantly, be there when my children need me. I no longer feel guilty when I take breaks to have lunch with them, nor do I feel the stress of being stuck in traffic when all I want is to get home. Every minute saved is a minute gained for quality time. And guess what? I actually work better in the comfort of my own space!
A Showroom Reimagined: The Perfect Spot
At the same time, I knew I still needed a professional setting where customers could come for private viewings—somewhere secure, comfortable, and easy to access. That’s when I found The Five, Damansara Heights, a commercial space that ticked all the right boxes. No more concerns about residential addresses, no more juggling between home and showroom visits—I could now meet my customers in a proper, elegant space that gives both them and me peace of mind. And yes, if you come by, I can even make you a cup of coffee while we admire jade together.
The Best of Both Worlds
With this change, Ja’dew has found its perfect rhythm. I now have the flexibility to work anytime at home while being more present for my children. And when it comes to meeting customers, our showroom appointments at The Five are now seamless and hassle-free—just book via our online system, and we’ll meet there!
