Could you please tell us more about your background and career?

Sketching has always been a big interest to me and I took a foundation course in design at Leeds College of Art and Design, UK after I finished my A-levels in Hong Kong. It was fine art and interior design that I struggled for at the first place but I picked the degree course of Design Management at Surrey Institute of Art and Design at the end. It was a new course in the country but very popular in the US. Just as many other oversea students, I had a few part-time jobs during all those years... book shelver in university library, takeaway cashier, sales assistant, cleaner, etc. Upon graduation, I spent some free time in the UK carrying on my part-time jobs while also looking for full-time jobs that could be related to the subject. In mid 2005, I returned to Hong Kong and worked in a 4As as Account Executive where I served clients from various sectors including automobile, FMCG and bank. It was a tense and compacted year but I must say it gave me a solid foundation of practical industry knowledge, especially in printing process. And then, here I am in Victionary.
