I’m not really sure about what got me interested in art and advertising. But it was sometime in high school, that colors, strokes, shapes, words and gorgeous imagery, made my world come alive.
Traveling the globe from a young age does have its benefits – it exposed me to dimensions I could have barely fathomed otherwise.
I remember my first day at Art College as vividly as if it were yesterday. The crispness of new paper, the heady smell of oil paints opened for the first time, the feeling of reverence when holding a sable hair paintbrush, the excitement at creating the first stroke – it just fit. I knew then, that this is where I belong.
Four years of utter bliss and abandon. A time when the word ‘exams’ no longer created a feeling of morbid fear, when the word ‘homework’ was actually cheered at, a time when professors were on the same mantle as friends. Too soon, it was time to enter the big, bad world of advertising.
Well to cut a long story short, I entered my advertising dream, on the creative side. After a short stint then, a self-imposed break for 2 years to explore life and travel the world, I was back.
Though this time round, it was as part of Client Servicing. There hasn’t been 1 Client that has not been bitched at, cursed at, or almost murdered, and often I’d rue, what in God’s name made me choose Servicing.

The truth isn't the truth until people believe you, and they can't believe you if they don't know what you're saying, and they can't know what you're saying if they don't listen to you, and they won't listen to you if you're not interesting, and you won't be interesting unless you say things imaginatively, originally, freshly. - Leo Burnett
Our job is to sell our clients' merchandise... not ourselves. Our job is to kill the cleverness that makes us shine, instead of the product. Our job is to simplify, to tear away the unrelated, to pluck out the weeds that are smothering the product message. - Bill Bernbach
