The street fighter guide to starting a business.
I was recently asked to share some startup tips at a job fair (ST Jobs Express 2016), and after having initial reservations (just who on earth would want to hear me talk about startups? My last name’s not Zuckerberg or Trump!), I decided to accept the opportunity, and share whatever I’ve learnt from my own humble journey in starting and running […]
How we created a CNY video for less than $5!
The Year of the Monkey has arrived and we’re getting cheekier! It’s the time of the year where we ask ourselves: what kind of “corporate” e-greetings do we want to make this year for our clients? (Got budget? Got time??). Two years ago, if you remember, we had no time to do one (well, we did lah. […]
The smokescreen called nostalgia
“Nostalgia – it’s delicate, but potent. Teddy told me that in Greek, nostalgia literally means the pain from an old wound. It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone.” ~ Don Draper, “The Wheel”, Mad Men. Recently, I got lost navigating within my own moral compass because of what Don sentimentally […]
New clientele flavour added: Meadow Gold!
We’re delighted to welcome a new client on board: Meadow Gold! It’s a pitch we’ve worked hard to clinch, and now it’s time to prove that we can walk the talk and produce work that’s the erm, Crème de la Crème, so to speak. Ok, ’nuff of the puns. It’s straight back to work. Keep a look out for […]

Creating memories with HCA Hospice Care
When HCA Hospice Care approached us to help out with a memento to commemorate their 25th Anniversary, it was an opportunity we couldn’t turn down. As a registered charity providing free hospice care service, their budget was naturally constrained, and we were more than happy to accept the challenge to create something that not only fits the […]

Why I think “constructive criticism” is a term invented by some smart-ass management out there.
Ok, a post laced with skepticism (and not directly related to the field of design/creativity, but to work and life in general). Haven’t we often heard of the term “constructive criticism”? Ever wondered where it came from? Well, I have a conspiracy theory for that! There are often times, as fallible and imperfect human beings […]
Who is more creative: van Gogh or the agency art director?
Ok, this post will probably ruffle some artistic feathers, but hey, it’s a view I’ve held for some time. So in the spirit of freedom of expression, here goes… (And for those who disagree, feel free to counter it! I’d love to hear your views). Being in the business of creative consultancy, I’ve come across […]
