I am a VR/AR creative executive with over 10 years of experience in leading creative teams across commercial filmmaking, game development and spatial computing. I’m probably known best for my work as the Creative Director of Virtual Reality at Viacom NEXT, where my team and I incubated and developed over 20 VR/AR projects, many of them sweeping awards at major film festivals. Our last project, Aeronaut VR featuring Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins, clinched the coveted Cannes Lions Grand Prix in the Digital Craft category. I believe that creativity is best when it’s cross-disciplinary, and have constantly pressed for diversity of thought and background across my teams. Perhaps this was inspired by my career – I am incredibly lucky to have worked in AAA and indie games, directed television and film productions, and led creative campaigns in the advertising world. In 2012, I designed and produced Songbird, a location-based narrative experience featuring live actors, short films, and an iOS app which debuted at the Singapore Arts Festival. I was also represented in Australia by production studio KICK KICK PUNCH, where I directed music videos and created content for clients such as the BBC World Service, Ford Motors and SAP. A video I made featuring the kinetic type of Ira Glass went viral in 2011, hitting over 3 million views across Vimeo and YouTube. I’ve lived in 5 countries across Asia, Oceania and North America, and have a global perspective that bridges across cultures. I’m fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.
