Before I made a commercial, I was in a commercial. Ask me about it in person and I might show it to you.
Here’s the tea: I’m a multi-disciplinary Group Creative Director with 2 years of brand experience and 20 years of agency experience under my belt. I’ve tackled the local scene (Malaysia), the regional one (Singapore), and gone global (USA). I also moonlight as the social media manager and lead content creator for the_bankstreetboys.
Be kind, rewind: I’ve taught a few portfolio classes at SVA, designed pro bono work for female minority-owned businesses, and opened my heart (and home) to foster dogs from Last Chance Animal Rescue. Hit me up if you are looking for a new family member. #adoptdontshop
The thing about me: I’m the kind of person who always sees my glass as always full. A bona fide global citizen, I’ve lived it up in five countries across four continents, I’ve mastered the art of selling shampoo and shavers in twelve languages.
Last words: Though I’ve called New York City home for 16 years and can order a bagel (everything, scooped, toasted, schmeared with lox), my American accent is still a work in progress.
Awards
Some bragging rights: I’ve received accolades in Cannes, D&AD, The One Show, Clio, Effies, ANDYs, Webbys, AWARD, AdFest, SPIKES and represented both Malaysia and Singapore as a young creative in major regional award shows.
Education
Executive MBA in Creative Leadership | Berlin School of Creative Leadership, Steinbeis University, Berlin, Germany. My thesis examined how psychological safety and generational leadership shape creativity and team performance in creative orgs. If that’s a space you’re interested in too, I’d love to connect.
Bachelor of Arts, Graphic Design (Dean’s list) (BA) | Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Australia, 2003
