A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I’M A CREATIVE DIRECTOR & DESIGN STRATEGIST WHO HELPS BRANDS REALIZE THEIR UNTAPPED POTENTIAL.

With 20+ years of brand building, I’ve learnt that obsessive curiosity and deep understanding is what makes the work impeccable. Branding is a collaborative endeavor that takes just as much spycraft as it does design craft. Whether starting from scratch or reviving a classic, I motivate my teams to think beyond the surface of where an opportunity begins to rigorously craft compelling solutions that are enticing and emotive. 

Growing up in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Germany, and Canada, profoundly influence how I observe the world around me and where I seek inspiration. I design for people and their experience in mind.

I also, moonlight as a tickle monster for three little rascals and have a compulsive need to crochet.
