Hello there

👋

Thanks for checking my work, I hope you enjoy it.

You know finding a nice photo of yourself is as tricky as writing your own bio, so here’s me dressed like a clown and being completely ignored in a public toilet. I guess I can make a twist on it: I work hard & I don’t take myself too seriously. Something like that.

You can read the longer story about me below.

謝謝,thank you🤙

2019-Present

Acne London | Art Director / Creative

I found myself working at a really cool Swedish agency surrounded by really cool people from everywhere.


2018

London | All-around freelance creative

This time I only moved across Irish sea, to a creative capital where opportunities are as many as the times I deal with imposter syndrome - I love it.


2014-2017

Ogilvy & Mather Dublin | Art Director / Creative

I quit everything in Taiwan, moved to another island across the globe where nobody knows me. After some pretty standard struggles as an aspiring creative (homeless, moneyless, jobless), life’s started to be good when I became an art director and outdrank many Irish men.


2013

Ted Baker & Cath Kidston Taiwan | Head of Visual Merchandiser / Designer

I dip my toes into fashion world, one of the passions of mine. The highlights would be massive shop window design, directing fashion catwalk and staff discount.


2012

Publicis Taipei | Junior Creative / Graphic Designer

I wanted to try new things rather than Swiss typeface and minimalism design, so I walked in a big ad agency. In Asia, you can’t be an art director if you can’t design your own ads, so I designed a ton.


2009-2011

RMIT University | Bachelor of Arts - Visual Communication

I was that rebellious Asian kid who dropped out of business school to go to an art school - I might have purposely chosen one that’s far away in Australia.


1987

Born in Brazil by my adventurous parents, grew up in a magical island called Taiwan.
