Elaine is a creative director and photographer. She was born and raised in Hong Kong, spent time in Melbourne, Chicago, San Francisco, and is now based in Sydney. Which explains her weird hybrid accent.
So far in her advertising career, she’s planted a beer ad in people’s dreams; raised money for bushfire victims with a burnt Christmas tree; and made edible finger lickin’ good nail polish.
Elaine is an active member in the industry. She has judged various award shows, been a guest lecturer at AWARD School and Miami Ad School, and is a passionate mentor to young creatives.
With her obsession in photography and social, she has garnered over 258k+ followers on Instagram, work with various brands, and do public speaking engagements as a social influencer. When she's not making ads or taking photos, she enjoys travelling and diving into the world of NFTs.
