What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead brand, communications, and community-impact work that connects business goals with meaningful audience engagement across markets.

I've shaped brand narratives and strategic communication frameworks for Nippon Paint Group, Oxwhite, Teach For Malaysia, AirAsia Health, and FIDE Forum. My work turns corporate goals into actionable playbooks, cohesive campaigns, and stronger audience engagement.

For Nippon Paint, I produced a scalable CSR playbook for deployment across 28 regional markets and developed the 2027 Asia Young Designer Awards narrative, “Humanise,” with the “Habitat” subtheme. I also unified regional brand guidelines across Asia Pacific and created entry kits supporting participation from 1,200 universities.

I've delivered measurable campaign and digital outcomes, including surpassing Teach For Malaysia's fundraising target by 25%, increasing its social engagement by 175%, and achieving 67% newsletter open rates for NIPSEA Group. Earlier, I led communications for Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council, generating 300,000+ annual leads, and grew web traffic by 65% at Mongoose Publishing.
