		<description>+ My creative philosophy is based on human-centric studies that aim to intrigue the human emotions. I create projects that showcase the thought of long-term social impact, character and personality of the brand through real-world context and application.
++ My design approach focused primarily on being conceptually strong, yet creatively relevant. Design decisions are based logically on 1.qualitative research to yield maximum results for clients. I often use a spectrum of 2.methods to develop deep understandings of how the audience perceive their social realities, and in consequence, how they act within the social world.


1.Qualitative research primarily refers to extensive exploratory research. It is used to acquire an understanding of underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations that will help to provide insights into problems, or help to develop ideas, or hypotheses for potential quantitative research. 2.These methods include diving deep into diary accounts, open-ended questionaires, documents, participant observation, and ethnography through discovery sessions.



Creative Consultation, Design Research, Campaign Ideation, Conceptualisation, Art &#38;amp; Creative Direction, Brand Strategy, Identity &#38;amp; Development, Logo Design, Visual Communication, User Experience (UX), User Interface (UI), Mobile Application &#38;amp; Web Design, E-Commerce, Typography, Data Visualisation, Motion Graphics, Packaging Design, Editorial Publication, Art Experiments, etc.

Did alot of exhibitions and collaborations with local designers.

Got my first design client for $800—my cohort mate.
Then, got my second design client for $1200—my professor.Got an equally useless Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Communication after 4 years.
Went to work at a few places including Asylum, Ogilvy, and Hogarth (now known as WPPP). Realised I actually have control over money.

Started my own studio. Ran it for 11 years.

Told my dad it came a full circle—that I found my way back to TP DES.

	Bao Boy is chef-owner Andrew Walsh’s first pop-up establishment in Singapore that delivers salivating steamed bao sandwiches and small bites with a twist on Asian flavours. We proposed a playful, animated ”bb” visual identity that would accurately portray a lively atmostphere and encourages the friendly vibe that envelopes the food, restaurant, staff and patrons. No matter which bao you go for, they have made sure that it can all be picked up with one hand – so you have an excuse to hold an ice-cold beer from their handpicked list of premium brews and cocktails, in the other.

Butcher Boy


Project: Visual Identity, Corporate Branding, and selected Design works
Sector: F&#38;amp;B IndustryImages © Butcher Boy
	A space rendered for the meat-lovers and the ones in search for highs and good vibes, Butcher Boy is an asian-inspired bar &#38;amp; grill set along the Keong Saik dining enclave in Singapore.We proposed a hand-written style logotype to translate the laid-back and casual environment of the restaurant, accompanied by Japanese katakana (”bucchaa–booi–”, which literally pronounce as Butcher Boy in Romaji) to give the brand a playful, asian flair. The visual identity was also designed to span across all of the brand collateral such as signages, glass door decal, greaseproof paper, menu, coasters, namecards, stickers, engraving and more.

	Reptileworks is a stone &#38;amp; tile company that consists of dedicated specialists who works on decorative profiles and finishes on all surfaces for residential &#38;amp; commercial establishments, both interior and exterior.Challenging the status quo of an age-old construction industry, we proposed for the brand to push the boundary by looking unconventionally modern, in an attempt to engage and capture the attention of the brand’s younger, more fashion-conscious target audience. The RW logo was crafted in a stylized resemblance of the herringbone tile to translate the nature of the brand’s tiling business.

	DDIY (Don’t Do It Yourself) is a trusted home concierge subscription platform that combines technology with personal managers to provide and manage a suite of in-home services and deliver experiences right into homes of Myanmar &#38;amp; Singapore.

By analysing the original branding efforts, we are able to better understand the previous intention and efforts, where it is falling short and identify key areas of improvement. In this case, we discussed and understood the intention of the original branding efforts, and advised we moved away from a literal logo representation, towards a modern and forward looking logotype paired with a pictorial mark.
Our team went through rounds of meticulous interviews and ‘tried &#38;amp; tested’ processes with the client to develop their brand strategy. Our belief is that, for Branding, it needs to be more than just the aesthetics. We go through meticulous rounds of interviews and ‘tried &#38;amp; tested’ processes with our clients to develop the Brand Strategy. During the sessions, we were then able to pen down and determine the brand’s tone of voice, unique traits, market competition and target audience. 

Through this exercise, together we are able to pen down and determine the brand’s tone of voice, unique traits, market competition and target audience amongst other strategies. These processes provides a more concrete foundation to develop and design the brand’s aesthetic components.

 The results ultimately provided a concrete foundation for us to develop and design the brand’s aesthetic components that would resonate with the brand’s desired audience.
The identity features a stylized image of the 2 letter “D”, interlocking together, a symbol of seamless integration. It also translates into the linkage of being efficient in every respect of empowerment and service excellence, and the ability to optimize and harmonize all facets of human and technological performance.
Color Palette and Typography sets were developed based on the Brand Strategy to further emphasise the core values of DDIY. Custom Illustrations were developed with a unique style that adds a touch of finesse and elegance to the collaterals. The illustrations are inspired by casual, daily scenarios that are meant to juxtapose with the elegant photographs of home interior
