Hello, I am Farhan, a Senior Creative (Art Director) with over 8 years of experience. currently based in Singapore. An ad nerd, a photographer by train and a father of two (yeap like adman isn’t mad enough). I am fortunate and humbled to be amongst the best in the industry which have led me to win some local, regional and international awards. And this is all due to strong collaboration and curiosity across departments.
Thanks for dropping by to view the works, am currently looking for a new stint, free for coffee?
