Creative Director / Writer

About

b. 1986, HK.

When I was growing up the other kids went outside for recess while I stayed inside writing short stories. This was third grade. This is a true story. Sure, it was an odd move, but hey, that was the game I always wanted to play.

And while I’m not pounding out my ideas on a gargantuan old iMac by myself anymore, I’m still playing around, working with super talented individuals to craft interesting worlds for brands to live in. Grown up recess if you will.

Also, big shout out to my third grade teacher Mrs. Greiwe for letting me be a little weirdo.
