I’m Anastasia (she/her), an art-fanatic obsessed with weird books and asking questions.
Hong Kong-grown, I graduated top of my class at SCAD in 2015 with a BFA in Advertising. I developed a passion for activation and digital while working at Geometry Global, and learned how to grow those opportunities into impactful campaigns at McCann, Leo Burnett, and Host Havas. I’m currently based in Melbourne, enjoying one too many flat whites.
I believe in ideas that go beyond changing perception, by leveraging cultural insights at the right time, and in the right place to create lasting value.
That’s why I changed a 2,000-year-old word to change a law. Why I designed a shopping cart to teach kids healthy eating habits. And it’s why I believe in activations, engagements, and stories that pinpoint a pivotal moment to drive real action.
In 2022, I was selected to take part in Cannes See It Be It, an incredible experience that gave me the courage to not just participate in our industry, but look to change it. I was invited to join the Gaming & Virtual Worlds jury at D&AD (twice!), See It Be It 2023 & ‘24 juries, and Digital jury at AWARD Awards.
I’m currently a Senior Art Director at Host Havas Australia.
