It’s coming to Songkran again next month. I guess this scorching heat has slowed me down enough to reflect a bit. It was a year ago I came back to Thailand and set up my own company here. 

Last year, I quit my job after almost 2 years as Executive Creative Director of a multi-national advertising agency in Vietnam. I had not only taken them from obscurity to number one, I had also completley redesigned the new state-of-the-art offices there.

My eclectic career has spanned 27 years across 5 different countries, and led me to travel and adventure in many more. I had gone as far as I wished to go in the ‘corporate game’, with multi-national advertising agencies.

But, like my father, ‘retiring’ is never something I entertain, or probably ever will.

There were things that really thrilled me about my job when I first started as a pimple-faced junior all those years ago, and these same things always propelled my spirit and kept me going all these years. I love to create and make things happen, whether it’s design, music, film, interiors or whatever. It’s the exact same joy I felt as a boy when I loved to make things. I have never considered what I do to be work.

So, now I have set up my own creative consultancy here. I am slowly gathering clients in Thailand and across Asia and will also start to lecture part-time at an international design school in Bangkok next month. Later this year, I will run some private creative workshops for people who want to learn how to be more creative in work and business.

I am looking for new clients (large or small) who may need to:

- Design or overhaul their logo, stationery or entire corporate look.
- Create new and complete strategies for marketing, advertising or promotion.
- Start a new business (e.g. bars, nightclubs or restaurants) and need interiors, designs, business strategies and/or marketing.
- Design packaging, books, CD’s or exhibitions.

In Thailand, Songkran is a time for cleansing and renewal for the New Year ahead; a time for making resolutions and ‘washing away’ the previous year to make way for new opportunities. 

It seems right that I’ve finally found a place of peace, inspiration and sanity, where I now live, work, play and create.
