Hello!

Imagine a subtropical island in the South China Sea with remote sandy beaches, a place that has no cars, no traffic jams, without high-rise buildings but with lush green vegetation. This place is called Lamma Island or 南丫島 (Nán Yā Dǎo), a peaceful destination 20-minute ferry ride from Hong Kong island that I call my home.

For the past 25 years I have worked inside organisations in 4 different cities in Amsterdam, London, Shanghai and Hong Kong, transforming vision into commercial products and scalable services.

I partner both with for-profit and non-profit organisations such as Nike, Adidas, General Assembly, Star Wars, UBS, Astellas, Carrier, Asia Society, Prudential, Google, Phillips, Li & Fung, Heineken, WWF, Engineers Without Borders, among others.

As well as my business practice I’m an instructor for General Assembly (GA), an American for-profit education organisation, upskilling and reskilling employees at Tetra Pak, Carrier, Danone, and Astellas across the APAC region. For GA I have designed over 100 courses covering subjects from social design to experience design, circular design, digital marketing, automation, digital transformation, behavioural design, product design, service design, design thinking, and other subjects for the digital economy.

I am a visiting lecturer for the Sino-German Faculty of Branding, an international programme at Zhejiang Wanli University in Ningbo, China. Each autumn and spring semester I deliver two courses focused on strategy and international branding. Lessons cover concepts such as Levitt’s globalisation, industrialisation, Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, Browaeys & Price’s organisational culture, Hall & Hall cultural principles, cultural frameworks by Terpstra and Sarathy, brand management, and design strategy.

Along with my design and innovation, I produce and host The Last Supper, a weekly podcast dedicated to emerging and established artists, curators, gallerists and collectors in Asia. Ranked in the top 10, my podcast is supported by Christie's and the Hong Kong Art Gallery Association (HKAGA).

When I don’t design, teach, or host a podcast I am actively involved in speaking engagements, writing, and moderating on the subjects of design, innovation, art and creativity.
