SUMMARY

Since 2012, I have been a full-time freelancer article writer for both English and Malay for an online news portal. Apart from that, I was also given the task to translate and edit articles.

I was fortunate to work with terrific clients, from the Prime Minister's Office, the Malaysia Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD), The Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA), political campaigns for Barisan Nasional affiliates and product campaigns for Mc Donald's Malaysia.

Before this most recent freelance phase, I was a self-starting professional with more than fifteen (15) years of experience in graphic design and art direction for corporate and product identity, packaging, print collateral, advertising, annual reports and multimedia. Special emphasis on conceptual design and communication goals plus high attention to details.
