About

I worked as an intern twice at 2 big agencies in Malaysia before I came to Singapore. Back then, I won several local and international student advertising awards including the Art Directors Club 87th Annual Award New York. I have now won several finalists at this year's One Show and Clio.

Prior to my study in Malaysia, I tried many different things which included being a professional junior tennis player, a shop owner, a food seller, a wedding car driver and a magician.
