At Manifesto Media and Tatler Asia, I create fashion cover stories, profiles, branded content, and editorial shoots for luxury audiences. My work has included interviews with Giorgio Armani, Robert Wun, Phillip Lim, Rachel Scott, Takashi Murakami, and Kasing Lung.

I’ve led fashion content strategy across print, digital, and social, while directing styling and editorial production for cover shoots and flagship products including Tatler Hong Kong Asia’s Most Stylish 2025. I also report from Paris Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week, Pitti Immagine Uomo, and the Hong Kong Film Awards.

I bring experience partnering with brands including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Loewe, Dior, Bottega Veneta, Fendi, Tiffany & Co., and Van Cleef & Arpels, alongside a foundation in media planning, influencer marketing, and client development.
