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.
