What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead creative teams and own strategic visual direction—building distinctive brand identities and delivering high-impact advertising and marketing communications that drive business growth.

I’m a seasoned creative professional “DE PASION” with over 25 years of experience in advertising, branding, and strategic visual direction, working across the GRAPHIC ARTIST Philippines and Cambodia. I lead with a clear point of view—conceptualizing and executing high-impact marketing campaigns that elevate brands and support business growth.

Most recently, I’ve been a Senior Art Director at The Moments Group (March 2024 – Present), and I’ve previously served as a Creative Director across Cambodia roles, including Events Dojo (Aug 2021 – Jul 2023) and Hanuman Capitals (Sept 2020 – Jul 2021). Earlier leadership included Creative Director positions at Ice Cream Communications (Jan 2019 – Aug 2020) and IdeaFactory Advertising Co. LTD (Jan 2018 – Dec 2018).

My strength is marrying strategy with execution: I’ve owned strategic leadership such as Creative Direction and Art Direction, supported Strategic Planning and Team Leadership, and delivered Branding & Corporate Identity, Advertising Campaigns, and Marketing Communications. From Apple-level brand design work to layout, print design, and visual storytelling, my career has consistently focused on building distinctive identities and turning them into compelling, measurable creative outcomes.
