ABOUT
VJs Journey.
A digital native who's gone on to master different mediums, platforms, regions and cultures.
Vj hails from a small humble town in Malaysia called Taiping. Always doddling and drawing in his textbooks. Fast forward a year years, Vj went off to major in digital media and designing websites for a living. 6 years after coding and designing websites, he saw a tvc and said "Damn, i can do that!" Jumping in from digital, he then had to learn above the line and below the line marketing. Along the way he got moved into a Digital CD role. And then ECD in big agencies across Asia. After winning tons of awards, he then moved to setup an internal creative agency within Indonesia's largest decacorn, Gojek. One of his last pieces of work was a music video that went viral. Gary Vee then discovered him and got him in to help setup Vaynermedia APAC. He has now moved to a global ECD role based in London. That's his story in a nutshell.
