I’m constantly told I’m a good boy. But I’m not sure what that means because it doesn’t score me any extra treats. My dad says my job is office security but I’ve never met anyone I didn’t like, which may be why I’m a good boy? Every day, I look forward to lunch and my afternoon walk. I love hanging at the office because there’s always lots to do and I get pets all the time. Plus, all the toys — yes toys! And balls, lots of them! I have an instagram page: @einsteinthepom where I have lots of fans downtown and around the world.

I’m a Vancouverite who moved away and am happy to again reclaim this city as my home. My time away — three years in China working at major agencies and international brands — has instilled in me a global orientation with a local focus, all of which contributes to my role at Hamazaki Wong. In China, I worked at leading media and communications agencies as account manager where my primary responsibilities included the development of brand and media strategies (digital, social, eCommerce, CRM and traditional media) as well as overall project management, execution and business development. I’ve worked with global marketers and brands in sectors including baby care, skin care, personal and hair care, automotive, consumer packaged goods, technology products, and pharmaceutical.
While abroad, I also completed my eBusiness concentration from Shanghai AnTai Business Management School. My fluency in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, along with my meticulous and detail-oriented personality are assets I bring to every assignment. My other passions include the Vancouver Canucks (bah to bandwagoners!) and taking advantage of everything the West Coast lifestyle has to offer whether it’s the Grouse Grind, volleyball, fencing, golf, hockey, or dragon boating. I love to tweet about #marketing and sometimes about beer — depending on how much of the latter Ive imbibed! I graduated from the Sauder School of Business at University of British Columbia with a Bachelor of Commerce degree majoring in Marketing and International Business.

I have many passions — among them creativity, design, and coffee in varying orders of importance depending on the time of day. I am a seeker of knowledge and creativity in all its forms, looking to see how these elements fit into and contribute to the fabric of the world around me — and sharing these discoveries with others. But it’s in the area of art and design that I find my expression in practice. My incessant doodling, tattoo drawing and visual curiosity while growing up would inevitably lead me to my career based in art.
At Hamazaki Wong, I am a veteran creative, having worked on virtually all our client assignments over the past decade and a half. You name a client category, I’ve likely worked on it and won awards and accolades in the process. Naturally, I keep abreast of design, branding, advertising trends and solutions to keep me nimble and ahead of the young people around me! I originally hail from Hong Kong where I worked on some of the largest global brands in airlines, financial services, and retail. Now, about that other passion: coffee. I often muse, ‘What makes coffee so good, and why does it often smell better than it tastes? How do I make my coffee better?’ The creative exploration continues…

I’m a marketing practitioner with a sense that marketing can do good in the world. By day as creative director, with an equally strong strategic streak, I have been fortunate enough to work on major brands — globally and locally — in sectors including airline, automotive, financial, packaged goods, resources, retail, telecom, service industries, and more. But, by night, I have an affliction that I call the ‘caring gene’, and it’s this greater sense that manifests itself as an engaged, community-minded individual who has helped establish some of Canada’s most prominent institutions including Canadian International Dragon Boat Festival, Leo Awards, Board of Change and others. I’ve served on multiple community and not-for-profit boards and continue to do so.
I follow my passions — marketing, creativity, sustainability, arts and culture, social change — and these pursuits typically lead to some entrepreneurial marketing machinations. I’ve always got something(s) on the go and am an always-on personality! Oh, and I’ve also won awards for my work, including an achievement award, 40 Under 40 by Business in Vancouver, given to top business leaders under the age of 40. I also taught marketing in the Faculty of Commerce at the University of British Columbia and think, whenever I decide to retire, that teaching might be a worthwhile endeavour. I enjoy cycling and keeping active. I think of myself as a work in progress.

My professional designations of CPA and CGA may stem from the world of accounting but my experience is more versatile and expansive than that. My role at Hamazaki Wong is preceded by a 20-year career in the corporate and high technology start-up world of Silicon Valley. Over that time, my body had become accustomed to the California sunshine where I enjoyed the great outdoors filled with days of tennis, volleyball, and cycling. While I don’t think I can ever get used to the Vancouver clouds, my days of grey are compensated by my recent marriage and the precious time catching up with friends and family. My other passions include experimenting in the kitchen and travel, where I’m always trying to cross another country off my bucket list. My varied role at Hamazaki Wong is a perfect complement to my intellectual musings such as:
- Why does the belt colour have to match the shoe colour?
- If a man and a guy is the same, why is a ‘wise man’ and a ‘wise guy’ opposite? And how can a ‘slim chance’ and a ‘fat chance’ mean the same thing?
One of my favourite rules to live by: Always be compassionate and considerate of others because no matter how bad my day is, there’s someone out there having a worse day.

I am fascinated by multimedia art, and integrate that technology into my design, so
that traditional art has more forms of expression.

I am an ambitious, bilingual digital content creator with branding and marketing experience in both Hong Kong and Vancouver. I thrive in a fast-paced working environment and strive to deliver results by applying my creativity to find novel solutions.
Before moving to Vancouver, I worked as a branding executive in the Hong Kong branch of a leading global health supplements company. There I developed my expertise in social media and retail marketing by working closely with leading advertising agencies on widespread marketing campaigns. My experience in Vancouver includes working for culinary, fintech, and charitable organizations, with a focus on social media expansion.
I am lucky enough to be at Hamazaki Wong, an innovative, allcultural marketing agency, where their creative ideas and determination to push boundaries makes working here very exciting.
My creativity flows from my memories and experiences. So, in my free time, I like to travel to new cities and experience different cultures.
