DIRECTOR

ABOUT

b. 1986, HK.

I’m an Emmy Award–winning director known for my cinematic take on visual comedy.

Agencies and clients keep bringing me back for my collaborative approach, high-value results, and uncanny ability to keep the process fun.

Over the years, I’ve directed everything from kids and animals to influencers, athletes, celebrities, and even puppets. My work has been recognized by Cannes Lions YDA, Berlin Commercial Awards, 1.4 Awards, and Shoot’s New Directors Showcase, and I’ve been nominated for multiple Emmys for outstanding commercial work.

I’m also the kind of friend who’d drive you to the airport last minute. So if you need a director for some sharp, funny live-action content—or your flight leaves in an hour—give me a shout.

Either way, I’ll get you there on time.
