Saw a quote on a hipster's tee the other day - "Design is honest, advertising is lying". He was sipping Lacroix Water, reading off his iPhone X  and rocking a reissue AJ3. 

He's right. Lie through our f*cking teeth if we must, but with truthful and honest design.

If you must know him: born & bred in Kuala Lumpur, completed his foundation locally before moving Down Under to further his studies - Bachelor of Design (Communication Design) at Swinburne University of Technology. 

Having been through different tiers of advertising ever since, he self-proclaimed that all those years helped mould him to what he is today - a hybrid of 'all-over-the-line' creative who is neither a creative, an art director, or designer but all of them and more. 

Over the years he has worked with amazing brands such as Apple,  Coca-Cola, Minute Maid, Oreo, Sloggi, Dulux, Sephora and many more. He is also the f**ker who should've gotten fired (according to @yannikwenk) to come up with the term #slofie. Outside of striving for creative greatness, Ewan is an avid runner. 

Currently running Shanghai.
