I am a Brand Designer and Figurative Artist


BRAND DESIGNER

I have more than 30 years of experience in Branding and Graphic Design, spending my career in several multi-national branding agencies. With the experience I gained working with branding consultants over that time, I’ve developed a good understanding of branding and marketing strategies. This understanding is incorporated into my design process. My design solutions not only carry aesthetic appeal but also clear strategic intent. By effectively bridging strategy and design, I’ve produced brand identity and visual systems that fully and appropriately express the ideas they represent.

My experience includes work in both public and private sectors including StarHub, Marina Bay, OSIM, IDA Singapore, SLA, Dumex, Philips, Telekom Malaysia, Pertamina, Bank Indonesia, JTC, Institute of Adult Learning, Singapore Management University, Duke-NUS, NTU Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, National University Health System, NHG, The Singapore Red Cross, Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association and NCSS, amongst others.

FIGURATIVE ARTIST

I enjoy painting and sculpting mainly portraiture and figurative works. But more than just portraits, the subjects in my works personify issues relating to identity, society, spirituality and socio-political affairs.

My works have been featured in several shows and added to various private collections internationally.

Follow me on Instagram to get regular updates of my works in progress, and announcements for shows.

I’m open to collaborations and consignments.
