As I always say, "Insert quote here".
My first campaign was launching the wheel, and let's face it, it went big. Yes, that was me. I've won the New York Fest Grand Prix, Cannes Gold and a handful of those balls/brains on sticks known as Gongs. They look like they'd be great drums but they're a bit heavy. I imagine you could kill someone with one. If you were to be killed by one, be nicer if it was the gold, not the bronze. Silver in a pinch.

Escape from office to see awesome work while day drinking.
Woah. I've been at Singtel for coming up to frigging decade growing the in-house design team from 0 to omg-you-guys-do-that-too and jaga-ing what design means to Singtel?!?! Have had the privilege to not only work on stuff that's been an absolute blast, efficient, look great and award winning but with some of the most awesome peeps and agency partners. Background in Mass Comm, Multimedia and Interaction Design. Worship at the altar of craft and a firm believer that all work must serve the business. An artist I am not. Oh I've also lectured on design, ran a local multi label store, a butchery, freelance and in my spare time I dream in ink and pixels. Definitely drink too much and large propensity to say things I shouldn't...which considering where I am I seem to have gotten away with a helluva lot without a visit to HR.

To see insightful ideas that make me go "wish I had thought of that"
My love for words took me from studying literature, to writing travel and lifestyle pieces as a journalist, and then finally finding my feet in the business that is advertising. Over the last 6 years in the business, I've had the privilege of working across local, regional and international brands like SG Enable, IKEA, Spotify, adidas, Standard Chartered, Singapore Airlines and more. I’m currently working as a Senior Copywriter on regional projects across Publicis Group Southeast Asia.

Stupid fun ideas
My portfolio literally says "NO LION. NO PENCIL. BUT LOTS OF POTENTIAL." I guess that means I'm still stuck in advertising till I can change that headline.
