Creative philosophy or approach
No matter what kind of campaign I work on, I begin brainstorming from great insights. I find my insights from my life experiences and observations. Even if some experiences and education seem useless at that point in time, they can always become great insight for a great idea.
Recent work I’m proud of
Overwatch was once FPS game with highest female gamers’ engagements, yet they left due to numerous sexual harassments during their games. With launch of Overwatch 2, we are going to bring back our female warriors with new system, Tag of Shame.

Recent work I admired
It would be definitely “Universal Love” by McCann. The insight was very clear. There’s simply not many love songs for LGBTQ community. And the idea was so simple and great. By remake the renowned love songs with small changes in lyrics, female singer sings love for her female partner. And male singer sings for his male partner. I loved the art direction that went along with the album as well.
