Hi, I’m Tim.

I’m originally from Hong Kong and have been living in Malaysia for over 30 years. I’m now based in Kuala Lumpur with my wife, who is from Ipoh, and our two children. I love Malaysia and am happy to call it home.

I love food, and I love beautiful photographs. That’s really how I ended up doing what I’ve been doing for the past 15 years.

My training in visual aesthetics, together with my background in graphic design and marketing, has shaped the way I see things — and taught me to understand what clients really need.
